Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device and circuitry. The image forming device forms an image on a recording material. The circuitry executes image quality adjustment control for adjusting image quality of the image formed by the image forming device. The circuitry is configured to selectively execute a first control mode for executing first image quality adjustment control and a second control mode including both the first image quality adjustment control and second image quality adjustment control. The circuitry executes only the second image quality adjustment control without executing the first image quality adjustment control in a case in which an execution skip condition for skipping the first image quality adjustment control is satisfied even when an execution condition for executing the second control mode is satisfied.
