    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform color deviation correction and also density correction control in a state where the number of sensors is reduced while considering the variance of the sensitivity characteristic of a photoreceptor drum in an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: Respective color toner images are successively transferred from the photoreceptor drums 11a to 14a respectively to an image forming area on an intermediate transfer belt 15 to form a color toner image.

Sensitivity distribution in the shaft direction of the corresponding photoreceptor drum is stored in storage parts 11c to 14c as sensitivity characteristic distribution. In controlling image density, one of the toner concentration sensors is set as a sensor for controlling image density and a toner patch of every color is successively formed by the photoreceptor drum on the intermediate transfer belt corresponding to the arranging position of the sensor for controlling the image density, and developing bias corresponding to reference toner concentration preset is obtained from the result of density detection that toner patch density is detected by the sensor for controlling the image density to correct the developing bias according to the sensitivity characteristic distribution.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove the effect of the irregular texture of an intermediate transfer body when a long-durable image-forming apparatus using the intermediate transfer body forms a toner image for image density correction onto the intermediate transfer body and corrects the image density based upon data obtained by detecting the toner image with a sensor. SOLUTION: The apparatus measures time t1 needed for a rotating-time measurement pattern to be detected by the sensor after an optical scanning unit starts exposure for forming the rotating-time measurement pattern, composed of a toner image, onto the intermediate transfer body, and time t2 needed for the rotating-time measurement pattern to be detected again after the detection. The timing of measuring the texture of the intermediate transfer body and the timing of forming the toner image for the image density correction are adjusted based upon the times t1 and t2 and preset time T. Thus, the detected position of the toner image for the image density correction and the detected position of the base are made to coincide with each other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately measure a toner sticking amount on a toner image carrying means (for instance, transfer belt) in an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: Light from a light emitting element 12 is made single polarized light by a polarizing filter 15. A polarized light splitting prism 16 splits reflected light to 1st polarized light same as projected light and 2nd polarized light different therefrom, and light receiving elements 13 and 14 receive the 1st polarized light and the 2nd polarized light respectively and output 1st and 2nd light receiving output signals. The toner sticking amount on the toner image carrying means is obtained in accordance with a difference between the 1st and the 2nd light receiving output signals. In such a case, the output levels of the elements 13 and 14 are adjusted to make the levels of the 1st and the 2nd light receiving output signals obtained when the specified amount of toner stickes to the transfer belt equal, a difference between the 1st and the 2nd light receiving output signals obtained in a state where the toner does not stick to the transfer belt is set as a reference value, and a difference between the 1st and the 2nd light receiving output signals in the case of forming a toner image on the transfer belt is corrected in accordance with the reference value so as to obtain a correction output value, whereby the toner sticking amount on the transfer belt is obtained in accordance with the correction output value.
