Abstract
In an image forming device, a processor acquires a reference value set for the color combination of two different colors; determines whether the reference value meets an execution condition for correcting misregistration between the two different colors in two image pieces to be superposed one on the other, the determination being performed before forming a finished image including at least a color image portion formed by superposing one of the color image pieces on at least one of remaining color image pieces by using a plurality of image-forming units; forms registration marks for the two different colors in response to determination that the reference value meets the execution condition; and adjusts image-forming positions corresponding to the two different colors subject to correction of misregistration based on outputs of an light-receiving element providing detection results of the position of each of the registration marks.
