Estimating the term…
There is provided an image forming apparatus in which an image carrier and an elastic body may be in pressure contact with each other, and in which a toner remover may be in contact with the image carrier to remove toner remaining on the image carrier. The image forming apparatus may include: a first hardware processor that forms an image pattern in a region including at least a part of a pressure contact part of the image carrier that is in pressure contact with the elastic body when operation of the image carrier is stopped; a second hardware processor that acquires density of the image pattern formed on the image carrier; a third hardware processor that adjusts driving time of the image carrier based on the density of the image pattern; and a fourth hardware processor that drives the image carrier for the driving time.
An image forming apparatus in which an image carrier and an elastic body are in pressure contact with each other, and in which a toner remover is in contact with the image carrier to remove toner remaining on the image carrier, the image forming apparatus comprising:
An image forming method executed in an image forming apparatus in which an image carrier and an elastic body are in pressure contact with each other, and in which a toner remover is in contact with the image carrier to remove toner remaining on the image carrier, the image forming method comprising:
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable image forming program causing a computer, controlling an image forming apparatus in which an image carrier and an elastic body are in pressure contact with each other, and in which a toner remover is in contact with the image carrier to remove toner remaining on the image carrier, to perform:
