<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of consistently and stably discharging developer with a simple configuration even when a developing section is tilted. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming device 1 comprises: a discharge adjustment member 55 which is rotatable and adjusts an amount of developer to be discharged into a developer discharge section 22h; an optical sensor 81 to detect the amount of the developer discharged into the developer discharge section 22h; and a control section 91 to input a discharge detection signal of the optical sensor 81 relevant to the discharged developer and to control rotation speed of the discharge adjustment member 55. The control section 91 determines the rotation speed of the discharge adjustment member 55 so that the amount of the discharged developer is consistently equal to the amount when a developing section 2 is not tilted based on the respective discharge detection signals corresponding to the amounts of the discharged developer when rotatively driving the discharge adjustment member 55 at a plurality of the rotation speeds. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
