Abstract
In an image forming device, a processor extracts a fine line region from image data, the fine line region including at least one of characters and lines; determines whether an area of the fine line region is greater than a first prescribed quantity; sets an execution condition to include a first execution condition and a second execution condition, the first execution condition being applied where the area is greater than the first prescribed quantity and being more likely to be met than the second execution condition; forms registration marks for two different colors in response to determination that a reference value set for a combination of the two different colors meets the first execution condition or the second execution condition whichever is applicable in terms of the area; and adjust image-forming positions corresponding to the two different colors subject to correction of misregistration.
