Abstract
An image forming apparatus including a photoconductor and a light emitting unit further includes a generating unit configured to generate correction data used for correcting a shift in the sub-scanning direction of a latent image to be formed on the photoconductor; a correcting unit configured to correct image data based on the correction data; and a control unit configured to control light emission of the light emitting unit so as to form the latent image on the photoconductor. The generating unit is configured to generate the correction data based on configuration information of the light emitting unit, information indicating time required for causing a plurality of light emitting elements to emit light, and information indicating a rotation speed of the photoconductor.
