ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has a latent image writing device that writes an electrostatic latent image on an image bearing member, a developing device that develops a toner image based on the electrostatic latent image, a transferring device that transfers the toner image onto a recording material, a position correcting unit that corrects a position of the electrostatic latent image written by the latent image writing device, a recording material determining unit that determines whether or not the recording material has a long width, and a corrected amount changing unit that, when the recording material determining unit determines that the recording material has a long width, changes an amount of correcting the position of the electrostatic latent image to a value different from a set value for a recording material having a standard width.
