Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image data processing unit that converts combined data, in which image data to be used for adjusting image quality is inserted between pieces of print image data, into image forming data, and outputs the converted data; an image forming data counting unit that counts image forming pixels for each divided region obtained by dividing the image forming data in a sub-scanning direction; a storage unit that stores therein image forming data information relating to the image data to be used for adjusting image quality; and a control data generating unit that generates a control parameter for controlling image forming units based on count values of the image forming pixels. The control data generating unit generates the control parameters based on the image forming data information for a period in which the image data to be used for adjusting image quality is output.
