Abstract
To reduce a deviation in a scanning start position in the case where image formation is performed by an electrophotographic scheme in which a scanning speed of laser beam is not uniform on a photoconductor surface. An information processing apparatus includes a generation unit configured to generate a scanning speed profile, which is information about a scanning speed for each main scanning position in an image forming apparatus in which the scanning speed of laser beam is not uniform on a photoconductor surface; and a derivation unit configured to derive a scanning position adjustment amount specifying a distance from a reference position in a main scanning direction of the laser beam to a write start position of laser beam to the photoconductor surface based on the generated scanning speed profile in the main scanning direction.
