Abstract
A controller includes a pattern forming unit that forms patterns multiple times on a first image holding member which is driven such that a surface thereof is circulated, a first detection unit that optically detects the patterns formed on the first image holding member by the pattern forming unit, a second detection unit that optically detects the patterns transferred from the first image holding member to a recording medium which is transported in a set transport direction, and an adjustment unit that adjusts a length in the transport direction of an image transferred to the recording medium on the basis of a time interval when the patterns are detected by the first detection unit and a time interval when the patterns are detected by the second detection unit.
