Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A disclosed image forming apparatus includes a reading unit including a light emitting element for emitting light to a record medium, and a light receiving element for receiving reflected light; a print data storing unit storing print data of a uniform pattern which has a color different from a color of the test pattern and is provided in an area including the test pattern, a pattern forming unit printing the test pattern on the uniform pattern after the uniform pattern is printed, a relatively moving unit moving the record medium or the reading unit relatively at a constant speed, a first detection data obtaining unit obtaining first detection data received as the reflection light while the light moves and impinges on the test pattern, and a position detecting unit providing a calculation for determining a position of a line of the test pattern to detect the test pattern.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus that reads a test pattern which includes a line and is formed on a record medium and adjusts a discharge timing of a droplet, the image forming apparatus comprising: a reading unit that includes a light emitting element for emitting light to the record medium, and a light receiving element for receiving reflected light reflected on the record medium; a print data storing unit configured to store print data of a uniform patte…
