    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image carrying member, a development unit, a first driving unit, a second driving unit, and a cleaning blade. The image carrying member forms a latent image thereon. The development unit develops the latent image formed on the image carrying member. The first driving unit drives the image carrying member. The second driving unit drives the development unit. The cleaning blade, contactable against the image carrying member, removes materials including toner remaining on the image carrying member. When an agent-empty development unit is filled with a developing agent, the second driving unit is activated to start a driving of the development unit, and the first driving unit is activated to start a driving of the image carrying member after starting a developing agent filling operation to the development unit.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a toner content controller configured to set the target value of a toner content sensor for determining, after a developing unit has been driven for a preselected period of time since the detection of the replacement of a toner cartridge, that a toner-end recovery operation has been completed. Subsequently, every time a preselected toner replenishing cycle is executed, the toner content controller determines whether or not the output voltage Vt of the toner content sensor has decreased below Vt10-0.1 V and determines, if the answer of this decision is positive, that a toner-end recovery operation has completed.
