Abstract
In an image forming apparatus, a pattern forming unit forms a pattern for ameliorating image positional displacement, and a detecting unit detects the pattern. An ameliorating unit ameliorates an image positional displacement based on the pattern detected. If for example, the pattern cannot be detected, then e.g., monochrome printing is enabled, and a notifying unit notifies that the amelioration is not possible.
