Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: an image carrier on which an image is formed; a light source that generates a light beam; an optical scanner that executes scanning of the light beam; a reflection surface identifier that identifies each reflection surface of a rotary polygon mirror; a sub-scanning direction driver that relatively moves the image carrier and the light beam to each other; a storage that stores first jitter information; a photodetector that detects scanning of the light beam; a measurement device that generates second jitter information; and a hardware processor that uses the first and second jitter information to change a frequency of a write clock and adjust a phase of the write clock, wherein the hardware processor obtains a correction characteristic for a dot position shift, and changes the frequency of the write clock and adjusts the phase of the write clock.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 3 , further comprising:\n an image former that executes image formation with a plurality of color materials respectively having different colors, wherein the hardware processor obtains the correction characteristic simultaneously in a plurality of colors used for image formation.
