Abstract

See full text

The image forming apparatus includes a sheet conveyance part, an image forming part, and a sheet reading unit. The sheet reading unit includes a line sensor. The line sensor includes split line sensors. The line sensor reads a conveyed sheet. The line sensor includes a plurality of split line sensors. The split line sensors are placed at non-stretching positions, respectively. Each non-stretching position is such a position that as in the main scanning direction, a main-scanning-direction distance from a gap between one split line sensor and another split line sensor to an ideal edge position of every usable regular size exceeds a permissible value.
