Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes: an image formation section, a display section, an abnormal image information reception section, a cause specification section, and an operation control section. The abnormal image information reception section causes display of the image data at an operation section and also receives, from a user, specification of a position and a kind of an abnormal image appearing on recording paper on which an image has been formed by the image formation section. The cause specification section specifies a cause of the appearance of the abnormal image based on the position and the kind of the abnormal image received by the abnormal image information reception section. The operation control section controls a cleaning section cleaning each driving section of the image formation section to make the cleaning section perform a predefined cleaning operation in correspondence with the cause specified by the cause specification section.
