ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for adjusting an image alignment of an image forming apparatus that uses a thermal print head for applying heat to first and second sides of a medium for printing are provided. In the apparatus and method, a first printed area on the first side of the medium is detected by a sensor after printing a first pattern on a first setup print zone of the first side of the medium, a first-to-second printed area on the medium is detected by the sensor after printing a second pattern on a second setup print zone of the second side of the medium, a position deviation between the printed areas of the first and second sides is calculated using the first setup print zone, the second setup print zone, the detected first printed area, and the detected first-to-second printed area, and the setup print zones of the first and second sides of the medium is adjusted using the calculated position deviation.
