An image-forming apparatus includes image-forming sections, a density
detector, and a controller. Each image-forming section has an exposing
unit and a developing unit. The image-forming section prints an image of
a density detection pattern having a plurality of pattern segments of
different duties. The image is printed on a print medium under a
predetermined printing condition. The density detector outputs detection
values indicative of densities of the plurality of pattern segments
printed on the print medium. The controller determines a correction value
based on the detection values and corresponding target values of density
to modify the printing condition for the image-forming sections. The
correction value may be a correction to the amount of light to be emitted
from the exposing unit. The correction value may be a correction to the
developing voltage to be supplied to the developing unit. The correction
value may be weighted.
