Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming part that forms a developer image, transfers the developer image to an intermediate transfer belt at a first transfer position and the developer image on the intermediate transfer belt to a sheet at a second transfer position. The image forming apparatus includes a detection part located between the first transfer position and the second transfer position and configured to detect a concentration of the developer image; and a controller configured to start a transfer of a concentration detection pattern that is a developer image for concentration detection during a period from when the developer image for print is transferred to the intermediate transfer belt to when the developer image for print is transferred to the sheet, and then to control the detection part to read the concentration detection pattern.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus in which an image forming part that forms a developer image is located close to an endless intermediate transfer belt, configured to transfer the developer image that is formed by the image forming part to the intermediate transfer belt at a first transfer position and to carry the developer image, then to transfer the developer image on the intermediate transfer belt to a sheet at a second transfer position, the image forming appar…
