Image forming apparatus with developing bias correcting portion that changes a developing density adjustment pattern
Abstract:
A controller takes in a detection signal indicating the surface electrical potential of a photoconductive drum (7) from a surface electrical potential sensor (step #1), and determines whether the surface electrical potential is smaller than the predetermined threshold value (step #2). As a result, when the controller (6) determines that the surface electrical potential is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value (NO in step #2), it uses the low print rate density patch to execute the density adjustments in accordance with the toner density and the developing bias associated with the density patch (step #3). When the controller (6) determines that the surface electrical potential is smaller than the predetermined threshold value (NO in step #1), it uses a high print rate density patch to execute the density adjustments in accordance with the toner density and the developing bias associated with the density patch (step #4).
