Abstract: An image data transfer control device includes a first interface, a first and a second memory, a processor, and a second interface. The first interface acquires image data transferred in predetermined units. The first memory stores inclination correction data corresponding to the inclination of a print head, and correction position data indicating a correction position included in at least one divided image line among the predetermined number of divided image lines including each divided image line group. The second memory stores correction target image data at the correction position. The processor selects each divided image line group based on the inclination correction data, and specifies first and second correction target image data. The second interface outputs the second divided image line group including the first correction target image data instead of the second correction target image data.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a storage unit, a first processor, a second processor, and an arbitration unit. The storage unit stores control information related to at least one parameter of light emission of each of a plurality of light emitting elements that irradiate a photoconductor with light. The first processor accesses the storage unit. The second processor accesses the storage unit and accesses faster than the first processor. The arbitration unit controls the second processor to access the storage unit in a first period during which predetermined processing is performed. In a second period other than the first period, the arbitration unit controls the first processor to access the storage unit.

Abstract: An image forming device according to an embodiment includes a photosensitive drum and a light-emitting unit with a plurality of light-emitting elements which form an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive drum. A processor controls a storage unit to store a cumulative light emission time of each light-emitting element. The processor further controls the storage unit to store an adjustment time which is shorter than a longest cumulative light emission time of the light-emitting elements. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processor controls at least one of the light-emitting elements that has a cumulative light emission time which is shorter than the adjustment time to emit light until the cumulative light emission time thereof equals the adjustment time.
