Abstract: An image forming apparatus which can improve image formation capability to a satisfactory degree while curbing the rise in running cost. An image forming device forms adjustment images having different densities on an image support member having a higher optical reflectivity than an optical reflectivity of the adjustment images. A reading reads the adjustment images. An output from the reading device is read at a predetermined number of readings or time interval between readings based on the densities of the adjustment images susceptible to the optical reflectivity of the image support member.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus whereby waiting time (downtime), which is required for forming an image by automatic adjustment relating to image formation density or image formation position, is made shorter than in the prior art. When an image having a size equal to or less than a prescribed size is formed is formed in this apparatus, the image to be formed is placed on an image carrier in such a manner that a vacant area for forming an adjustment pattern can be reserved on the image carrier. As a result, automatic adjustment relating to image formation density or image formation position can be executed while an image is formed.

Abstract: An entrapment detection device of an opening/closing member which efficiently performs an entrapment determination and restrains an entrapment load even when a motor rotational signal is not inputted. The entrapment detection device includes a controller for performing the entrapment detection based on detected motor rotational signal cycle changes outputted from a motor rotation sensor which is synchronized with the movement of a motor for actuating an opening/closing member. The controller stores the cycle changes of a predetermined number of output pulses from the sensor, predetermines a standard cycle time Tb from the stored pulse output, and calculates a cycle coefficient of the entrapment. When the motor rotational speed is reduced, an entrapment detection operation is performed by comparing a value of time from a previous cycle change to a current cycle change multiplied by the calculated cycle coefficient with the standard cycle Tb.
