Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a sensor, an operation section, and a controller. The sensor detects a sensor target. The operation section receives an operation instruction. The controller executes a setting process for controlling the sensor. The setting process is a process to adjust a sensitivity of the sensor according to detection precision. The detection precision is a relationship in a first unit period between the number of times the sensor detects the sensor target and the number of times of the operation section receives the operation instruction.
