Abstract

In an image forming apparatus and an image density control method, the amount of toner consumed for purposes other than image formation can be suppressed, and it is possible to respond to a change in developing capability of a developing device due to environmental changes or the like so that A constant image density is obtained, and the image density is maintained at a substantially fixed level according to the amount of toner replacement by the first target output value correction device without consuming toner, accompanied by a change in developing ability caused by factors such as environmental changes The adjustment of the varying image density is processed by the second target output value correcting means based on the toner pattern detection result. Therefore, the frequency of toner pattern detection for maintaining the image density at a fixed level can be reduced compared to the case of maintaining the image density at a fixed level based only on the toner pattern detection result, and thus, the toner consumption can be suppressed .

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a printer, or a facsimile apparatus that forms an image using a two-component developer composed of toner and a magnetic carrier, and to an image density control method. Background technique

[0002] In the related art, a two-component developing system has been known. In this two-component developing system, a binary developer composed of toner and a magnetic carrier (hereinafter referred to simply as "developer") is held on a developer carrier, and the developer is used to The magnetic poles inside the carrier form a magnetic brush, and the developing operation is accomplished by sliding the magnetic brush over the latent image formed on the latent image carrier. Since color images can be easily formed with it, this two-component developing system is widely used. In a two-component developing system, when the toner concentration, that is, the ratio (for example, ...
