Abstract
In an image forming apparatus, image adjustment is performed by detecting a toner image constituting an image adjustment patterntransferred to an intermediate transfer member. On the intermediate transfer member, a leading patternlonger than a circumference of a secondary transfer rolleris formed at a leading position in a travelling direction of the intermediate-transfer-member ahead of the image adjustment patternby using a toner that is highest in brightness among toners used for the image adjustment patternor a toner that is higher in brightness than any toner used for the image adjustment pattern. Staining of the rear face of the recording medium due to toner adhering to the secondary transfer roller is prevented without increasing the apparatus scale.
