1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a recording head having a plurality of unit recording heads divided in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of a recording medium;
a detecting section detecting at least offset of an image recorded by a vicinity of an end portion, in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording medium, of the plurality of unit recording heads; and
a correcting section correcting recording offset of the recording head on the basis of results of detection of the detecting section.

Abstract
An image forming apparatus has: a recording head having plural unit recording heads divided in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of a recording medium; a detecting section detecting at least offset of an image recorded by a vicinity of an end portion, in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording medium, of the plural unit recording heads; and a correcting section correcting recording offset of the recording head on the basis of results of detection of the detecting section.

21. An image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a recording head having a plurality of unit recording heads divided in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of a recording medium;
a detecting section detecting at least offset of an image recorded by a vicinity of an end portion, in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording medium, of the plurality of unit recording heads; and
a correcting section correcting recording offset of the recording head on the basis of results of detection of the detecting section, wherein the recording head has a plurality of blocks, with each block being structured by a predetermined number of the unit recording heads, which can record images of plural colors and which are lined-up along the moving direction of the recording medium, and the plurality of blocks are lined-up in a staggered form along the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the recording medium. - View Dependent Claims (22)
