ABSTRACT:
An image forming device including: an image carrier, being an endless belt, on which a toner image is to be formed; a resistance measuring unit operable to measure a distribution of electric resistances on a surface of the image carrier; a toner patch forming position determining unit operable to determine a position at which the toner patch is to be formed, according to a result of the measurement by the resistance measuring unit; a toner patch forming unit operable to form a toner patch on the image carrier surface at the position determined by the toner patch forming position determining unit; a toner patch detecting unit operable to detect the toner patch formed on the image carrier surface; and an image control unit operable to control a timing for forming the toner image on the image carrier surface, taking a position of the detected toner patch into account.
