Patent number: 10742827Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a scanner, a printer configured to print an image based on an image read by the scanner, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to control the printer to print an adjustment test pattern on a first sheet, and the scanner to scan the adjustment test pattern on the first sheet, determine a setting value for adjusting positioning of an image to be printed by the printer on a sheet of the first sheet size, such that an image center matches a sheet center in a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction, and store the determined setting value in the memory. The processor is configured to modify the setting value stored in the memory based on sheet information related to a second sheet to be used for printing, the second sheet having a second sheet size different from the first sheet size.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: TOSHIBA TEC KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazumasa Yasui, Tomokazu Sakabe, Eizo Kurita, Kyosuke Terada
