The circuitry changes the charge fluctuation voltage and the fluctuating developing voltage depending on whether the writing device writes the latent image with the fluctuating writing intensity.

摘要： A toner adhesion amount information detection unit detects toner adhesion amount information. An image density unevenness detection unit detects image density unevenness in an image. A toner image forming unit forms a latent image on the surface of the latent image bearer, and performs the developing processing by applying developing bias between the latent image bearer and a developer bearer. The toner adhesion amount information detection unit detects, as the toner adhesion amount information, developing current flowing between the developer bearer and the latent image bearer. The image density unevenness detection unit obtains, from the image information, an index value indicating a toner adhesion amount of a toner image portion when the developing current is detected, and detects the image density unevenness based on the image information and the developing current when the index value indicates a toner adhesion amount of a prescribed amount or more.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes an image density detector, an image forming device, a rotator, an image density controller, and a timing correction data obtainer. The image density detector detects a toner density of an image formed on an image bearing member. An image forming device forms the image using a density adjustable element that adjusts the density of the image. The rotator forms an image pattern while the density adjustable element is changed, and a density thereof is detected by the image density detector. The image density controller controls the image forming device using a density correction data for the density adjustable element corresponding to a rotational period of the rotator. The timing correction data obtainer obtains timing correction data for correction of driving timing of the image forming device based on a change in the density of the image pattern detected by the image density detector.

摘要： An image forming apparatus includes a latent-image bearing body, a charging unit, a latent-image writing unit, a development unit, a development power, and a bias control unit. After a start of an image forming operation, the bias control unit performs a process of constantly maintaining an output of a development bias at an adjustment bias value. The adjustment bias value is a central value in a periodic fluctuation range of the output of the development bias. At a timing at which a difference of the development bias from the adjustment bias value in the periodic fluctuation range is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, the bias control unit performs switching from the process of constantly maintaining the output of the development bias at the adjustment bias value to a process of periodically changing the output of the development bias based on development bias control data.
