Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photoconductor; an optical writer to write a latent image on the photoconductor; an image data generator to generate image data of at least one of text and image and of a correction pattern; a light emission controller to control a light source of the optical writer; a developing device to develop the latent image into a toner image; a transfer device to transfer the toner image onto a recording medium; a fixing device to fix the toner image thereon; a detector to detect the toner image of the correction pattern formed according to the image data; and a writing position controller to control when the light source emits light based on the toner image detected. The correction pattern is formed at each of four corners inside a margin of the recording medium, and includes two edges in each of main scanning and sub-scanning directions.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein a part of the toner image of the correction pattern is formed in a blank portion of an area in which the at least one of text and image is formed on the recording medium, and wherein the blank portion does not include a toner image of the at least one of text and image.
