Abstract
An image forming apparatus, in which an image forming method is performed, includes an image forming device to form an image on a recording medium, a reading device to scan the recording medium having a position detection mark and generate a scanned image, and circuitry to calculate a plurality of correction values to adjust a position of the image to be formed on the recording medium, based on the scanned image. The circuitry is configured to calculate a first correction value based on a first scanned image generated from a first face of the recording medium, calculate a second correction value based on a second scanned image generated from a second face of the recording medium, and calculate a third correction value to adjust a position of an image to be formed on the second face, based on the first scanned image using the first correction value.
