发明名称 Method and apparatus for image forming capable of effectively correcting output from toner density sensor
摘要 An image forming apparatus using a two-component developer includes a sensor mechanism, an image forming mechanism, a toner supply controller, a memory, an estimation mechanism, and a correction mechanism. The sensor mechanism detects a toner density of the developer. The image forming mechanism produces a toner image at one of at least two selectable process linear speeds. The toner supply controller controls a toner amount based on a result by the sensor mechanism. The memory stores data of an external input voltage for adjusting a variation in an output voltage of the sensor mechanism. The estimation mechanism estimates a difference between output voltages of the sensor mechanism before and after a speed selection of the at least two linear speeds is changed. The correction mechanism corrects the output voltage of the sensor mechanism when a speed selection of the at least two selectable process linear speeds is changed.
