Abstract
Disclosed is a tandem-method image forming system that makes it possible to share operations for forming images onto different areas of the recording paper sheet between the image forming apparatuses included therein. Each of the image forming apparatuses includes an image forming section that forms an image onto a paper sheet; and a control section that is provided with a function for adjusting a process condition to be employed when forming the image onto the paper sheet corresponding to a target density currently established, and another function for outputting a test chart under the process condition above-adjusted. Corresponding to the target density, each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, which are operated in conjunction with each other through the network, revises the process condition for a plural number of times within an adjustable range, and outputs the test chart at every time when the process condition is revised.
