<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely adjust toner density for a developing means by securing toner replenishing time. <P>SOLUTION: A control unit reads the toner replenishing time at previous printing of each color (S11), controls an exposure device and a developing device so as to form a reference patch of a color requiring the short toner replenishing time (S12), and detects the density of the reference patch through a density sensor (S13). The control unit decides whether the detection of the density of the reference patches of all the colors is finished (S14), and a process returns to S12 in negative decision and finishes this routine in affirmative decision in S14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
