An apparatus having a plurality of developing devices for forming a multiple toner picture image composed of a plurality of layer toner picture images prepared from developed latent picture images formed on an image retainer by turning the image retainer a plurality of times. In the apparatus, latent reference images of different colors are formed on regions of the image retainer based on reference signals and the plurality of developing devices are used to develop the latent reference images to form a plurality of reference toner images. The data derived from the reference toner images is used to set up the image-forming conditions for forming a latent picture image on a common region of the image retainer, based on picture image signals received by the apparatus, when the toner picture image is formed on the image retainer. This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 849,709, filed Apr. 9, 1986, now abandoned, which in turn is a division of U.S. Ser. No. 757,519, filed July 19, 1984, now abandoned.
