IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

When calculating a toner consumption amount that is based on a dot count value of raster data, the toner consumption amount can be estimated more accurately by taking into consideration density control as well as pulse width control, which are used as part of image formation processing.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus that executes image forming processing using a printing material, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a determination unit configured to determine an image forming condition relating to image density according to a user setting; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a dot count value of raster data; and a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the acquired dot count value and the determined image forming condition, consumption amount of the printing material consumed in the image forming processing.
