Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming section; a pair of rollers; a displacement detection section; a displacement correction section; a translation amount determination section; and a control section configured to refer to a translation control table, operate the displacement correction section in accordance with a translation command value corresponding to a detection result obtained by the displacement detection section, obtain at a predetermined timing a relationship between the translation command value and a translation amount of the sheet, and update the translation control table on the basis of the relationship. The control section updates the translation control table when a displacement of a sheet is correctable, but does not update the translation control table when a displacement of a sheet is correctable.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet; a pair of rollers disposed on an upstream side of the image forming section in a sheet conveyance direction, the rollers being configured to convey the sheet; a displacement detection section configured to detect a lateral position of the sheet passing between the rollers; a displacement correction section configured to translate the rollers in a lat…
