Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming circuit that forms a chart image on a first sheet, a reader that reads the formed chart image, and a controller. If an inclination amount of the first sheet is greater than a first amount and is less than a second amount greater than the first amount, the controller performs a rotation correction on the read image to reduce the inclination amount, and stores an image of a first sheet area in the image after the correction, in a memory. If the inclination amount is less than the first amount, the controller stores an image of a predetermined area including the first sheet area, in the memory without the correction. The image forming circuit forms an image on a second sheet so as to reduce a difference in position between the stored image and an image used to form the chart image.
