摘要:
An image forming apparatus (100) configures a normal transfer potential in a yellow primary transfer unit (7Y), and configures a transfer potential (e.g. 0 volt) which does not cause any retransfer phenomenon of a yellow measurement image in image carriers (1M, 1C, 1K) located on the downstream side of the yellow primary transfer unit (7Y). When a color difference (ΔE) obtained from a reference density and a density of a measurement image on an intermediate transfer belt (6) becomes equal to or larger than a prescribed value (e.g. 3), the image forming apparatus (100) determines that multinary-color density adjustment is required.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit having an exposure unit and a developing unit; a detection unit configured to detect a thickness and an area ratio of a toner layer of a pattern image formed by the image forming unit; a storage unit configured to store data indicating permissible ranges for the thickness and the area ratio of the toner layer; and a correction unit configured to change, when the thickness or the area ratio of the toner layer detected by the detection unit falls outside the corresponding permissible range indicated by the data stored in the storage unit, a spot diameter of the laser beam so that the thickness and the area ratio of the toner layer respectively fall within the permissible ranges.
