A preliminary image is captured that includes parts of an authentication target person. Main authentication targets are determined. The main authentication targets are those parts that each have an acceptable image-capturing state. A single image-capturing device can then be controlled to successively capture images of the main authentication parts of the authentication target person that have been determined with different settings. These images of the main authentication parts that have been captured can then be output. For instance, authentication of the target person may be performed using authentication data for each main authentication part, where such authentication is successfully when authentication for all the main authentication parts is successful.

An image forming apparatus includes a controller, a drive unit, a developer bearing member, a regulation blade, and a sheet member. During non-image forming, the controller executes a control mode for controlling the drive unit to rotatably drive the developer bearing member in a second direction opposite to a first direction, and then rotatably drive the developer bearing member in the first direction. A portion above a horizontal line passing through a tip of the regulation blade out of the sheet member is disposed in a moving path of a developer born by the developer bearing member when the drive unit rotatably drives the developer bearing member in the second direction in the control mode, and is not disposed in the moving path of the developer born by the developer bearing member when the drive unit rotatably drives the developer bearing member in the first direction during image forming.
