Abstract:
In the first charge amount acquisition operation, based on density of a plurality of toner images for measurement or based on a direct component of a developing current at the time of forming the plurality of toner images in addition to the density of the plurality of toner images for measurement, the charge amount acquisition section acquires a first toner charge amount that is a charge amount of toner included in the toner image for measurement. In the second charge amount acquisition operation, based on the toner density detected at the time of image formation and a relationship between the first toner charge amount and the toner density detected in the first charge amount acquisition operation, the charge amount acquisition section acquires a second toner charge amount that is a charge amount of the toner in the development device.
