Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes: a conveyor having an endless conveying belt that conveys a recording medium; an image former that forms an image on the recording medium conveyed by the conveying belt; a correction mark formed on the conveying belt; a line sensor disposed downstream of the image former in a conveying direction of the recording medium, the line sensor having a linear detection surface; and a hardware processor that controls the conveying belt, the image former, and the line sensor, wherein the hardware processor calculates an inclination angle of the detection surface of the line sensor with respect to a width direction orthogonal to the conveying direction, based on image data of the correction mark read by the line sensor, and corrects image data of the line sensor based on the inclination angle.
