Abstract

A registration mark formed on an intermediate transfer belt is detected by a mark sensor, and a mark detecting signal is sent to a counter section from the mark sensor. The counter section starts to count a clock signal from an oscillator when the mark detecting signal is sent. A corrector section checks a corrected information which indicates a property of a number of printed surfaces registered in a corrected information register section and a detecting time difference, by the number of the printed surfaces sent from a mark detecting counter, and sends corrected time information corresponding to the number of the printed surfaces. The counter section sends a corrected signal to an engine controller section when a counted value of the clock signal reaches the corrected time information, and controls the time of starting image reading.
