Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an adjustment unit to select a type of adjustment processing for the image forming unit, a determination unit to determine a required time of the selected type of adjustment processing, and a display unit counting down and displaying a remaining time of the selected type of adjustment processing. The display unit controls a resolution of the remaining time based on the selected type of adjustment processing. A first type of adjustment processing is executed again if the first type of adjustment processing fails, and a second type of adjustment processing is not executed again if the second type of adjustment processing fails. The resolution includes a first resolution corresponding to the first type of adjustment processing and a second resolution corresponding to the second type of adjustment processing and being finer than the first resolution.
