Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes: a measuring unit configured to measure a plurality of measurement image, the plurality of measurement images including a first measurement image and second measurement images; a generation unit configured to generate a conversion condition based on second measurement data corresponding to the second measurement images; a first determination unit configured to determine an execution condition based on first measurement data corresponding to the first measurement image; and a second determination unit configured to determine a light intensity based on the first measurement data, wherein a subsequent timing when the plurality of measurement images are to be formed is determined based on the execution condition, an exposure unit updates the set light intensity to the light intensity determined by the second determination unit when the plurality of measurement images are formed at the subsequent timing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An image forming apparatus comprising: a converting unit configured to convert image data based on a conversion condition; a photosensitive member; an exposure unit configured to emit light based on a set light intensity and to expose the photosensitive member to the light based on the converted image data to form an electrostatic latent image; a developing unit configured to develop the electrostatic latent image to form an image on the photosensit…
