An image formation apparatus includes an automatic adjustment unit for
automatic adjustment of the apparatus, a job queuing unit for queuing
image formation jobs, a counting unit for counting the number of pages
from the previous automatic adjustment for each automatic adjustment
unit, and a determining unit for determining whether the number of image
formation pages for automatic adjustment will be reached during the
execution of the image formation queued job. In the event that the
determining unit determines that the number of image formation pages for
automatic adjustment will be reached during execution of the image
formation job queued by the job queuing unit, automatic adjustment is
performed before starting execution of the image formation queued job,
even though the number of image formation pages counted by the counting
unit has not reached the number for the automatic adjustment.
