ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit that forms an image by forming an electrostatic latent image on an image carrying body, developing the electrostatic latent image by sticking a developer on the image carrying body, and transferring the developer to a recording subject medium; a suspension time calculating unit that calculates a suspension time for which image formation by the image forming unit is suspended; and a correction amount calculating unit that calculates a correction amount for an image formation condition of the image forming unit based on the suspension time calculated by the suspension time calculating unit.
