Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a control device configured to control an image forming device to form a pattern image for positional deviation correction configured by a plurality of marks, obtain a deviation value of an image formation position on the basis of a detection result of the pattern image detected by a sensor, and in response to a difference between a first deviation value obtained from a first combination of combinations of the marks configuring the pattern image and a second deviation value obtained from a second combination of which a number of the marks being smaller than the first combination is smaller than a defined value, determine the number of marks of the pattern image to be formed next time or later to a number smaller than the number of the marks of the first combination.
