Image forming apparatus with a forming position correcting function

Abstract

Abstract An image forming apparatus with forming position correcting function comprises an original table, an original scanning section for optically scanning an original placed on the original table to obtain image data that corresponds to the image of the original, an image forming medium feeding section for feeding an image forming medium to a given feeding path, an image forming section for forming an image corresponding to the image data obtained by the original scanning section on a sheet of the image forming medium with a given magnification, a positional diversion detecting section for detecting a quantity of any positional diversion of the image forming medium in the direction of its feeding and in the direction rectangular to its feeding direction, a positional diversion storing section for storing the data for any positional diversions detected by the positional diversion detecting section, a first control section for generating forming position correcting data in response to the positional diversion data that have been read out from the positional diversion storing section, and a second control section for the transmitting the forming position correcting data generated by the first control section to a part which substantially affects the forming position on the image forming medium by the image forming section.
