Abstract

An image reading unit reads an original image, one main scan line by one main scan line, in a sub-scan direction. A window setting unit sets a measuring window in a bit-map formation of image data obtained through the image reading unit, in a manner in which the measuring window moves in a predetermined manner so that the measuring window appropriately includes pixels of an oblique line image which is formed in the bit-map formation of image data as a result of being read through the image reading unit. A position error measuring unit processes image data defined by the measuring window, and, thus, measures an error of the oblique line image formed in the bit-map formation of obtained image data between a predetermined reference state and an actual reading state.
