Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photoreceptor including a surface layer; a storage that stores a target value of a variation of a film thickness of the surface layer; and a hardware processor that acquires a variation of the film thickness in a first period within which the photoreceptor rotates a predetermined number of times, and sets a margin that is an amount of a portion for allowance with respect to a proper value of a parameter related to control of the photoreceptor, the margin being to be employed after the first period.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the hardware processor acquires a variation of the film thickness within a second period within which the photoreceptor rotates the predetermined number of times with the parameter set by the hardware processor, the hardware processor sets the margin to be employed after the second period to a value obtained by subtracting an offset amount that is a necessary portion of the margin having been employed in the second period from the margin having been employed in the second period in a case where the variation of the film thickness acquired by the hardware processor is larger than a predetermined range of film thickness variation including the target value, and the hardware processor sets the portion of the offset larger when the variation of the film thickness acquired by the hardware processor is larger than an estimated variation of the film thickness in a case where the photoreceptor rotates the predetermined number of tittles in a state where the margin set by the hardware processor is employed.
