Abstract

In a recording device, electrostatic recording units of Y, M, C and K are arranged along the direction of the feed of a recording sheet by a belt unit. The device forms latent images corresponding to image data by optical scanning of an exposure device onto a rotating photosensitive drum, develops the latent images with toner components having different colors, and then transfers the developed images onto the recording sheet on the belt unit. A color matching processing unit performs color matching processing including color slippage correction of different color images. An automatic color matching mode processing unit works the color matching processing unit when conditions beforehand decided in the state that an automatic correction mode is set up are realized. A manual color matching mode processing unit controls the color matching processing unit when the manual color matching mode processing unit recognizes operator's manual color matching instructing operation in the state that a non-correction mode is set up.
