The image forming apparatus includes an adjustment unit that adjusts the position where the electrostatic latent image is formed in a rotation axis direction of a photoconductor in accordance with the position of a sheet that has reached the transfer unit in the rotation axis direction of the photoconductor. The adjustment unit adjusts the position where the electrostatic latent image is formed in the rotation axis direction of the photoconductor in normal printing and does not adjust the position where the electrostatic latent image is formed in the rotation axis direction of the photoconductor in a case where a test image is to be printed.
