Abstract: An image reading device includes an image reading section, an image processing section, and a density reference member. Based on a location of a defect in the image reading section or in the density reference member, the image processing section determines whether or not to at least partially restrict either a read range of the image reading section when the image reading section reads an original document or usage of a result obtained by reading the original document by the image reading section. The image processing section determines whether or not to apply a smoothing process to each density value detected by reading the original document by the image reading section. The determination is made based on a comparison between a normal-value determining threshold and each density value detected by reading the density reference member by the image reading section.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a developing section, a voltage applicator, a detector, a calculating section, and an evaluating section. The detector detects values of first and second currents. The first current flows between the photosensitive drum and the developing section during formation of an electrostatic latent image. The second current flows between the photosensitive drum and the developing section when the electrostatic latent image is not being formed. The calculating section calculates a toner charge-to-mass ratio. The evaluating section evaluates reliability of a calculation result of the toner charge-to-mass ratio by comparing the second current value to a reference value. The reference value is of a reference current flowing between the photosensitive drum and the developing section when the electrostatic latent image is not being formed, and indicates a current value detected after adjustment to at least one of the photosensitive drum and the developing section.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus irradiates an object with light and reads an image on or of the object. The image reading apparatus includes a table on which the object is placed, a planar light source configured to emit light to the object, a range-finding section configured to measure a distance between the table and the object, and a control section configured to cause the planar light source to entirely or partially emit light. The control section controls a light emitting portion of the planar light source thereby to control a light collection spot for the planar light source to a position based on a measurement value obtained by the range-finding section.

Abstract: Storage stores therein a printing rate and an ideal developer supply amount of a developer to be supplied to a development device. The ideal developer supply amount is determined according to the printing rate. A developer amount detection section detects the amount of the developer in the development device. A supply amount detection section detects an actual developer supply amount by detecting the amount of the developer supplied by the developer supply section. A comparison section compares the actual development supply amount with the ideal developer supply amount and outputs first comparison information indicating a result of comparison. An adjusting section adjusts the actual developer supply amount of the developer supply section based on the first comparison information.

Abstract: An image reading device includes first carriage, a stepper motor, a shakiness level calculating section, and a timing adjusting section. The first carriage reads an image of a document to be read loaded on a document table. The stepper motor moves the first carriage relative to the document. The shakiness level calculating section calculates a shakiness level of the image, indicating shakiness of the image during reading by the first carriage, based on image data read by the first carriage with respect to a reference image incorporated into the document table. The timing adjusting section adjusts a rise timing of a step signal input to the stepper motor in accordance with the shakiness level that is calculated.
