Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image holding member comprising: a charging unit which charges the image holding member; a latent image-forming unit which forms an electrostatic latent image on the image holding member by exposing the image holding member charged by the charging unit with light having the second wavelength; a development unit which develops the electrostatic latent image using a toner and forms a toner image corresponding to the electrostatic latent image on the image holding member; a measuring unit which comprises: a control unit which controls the latent image-forming unit so that the latent image-forming unit forms the electrostatic latent image corresponding to a pictorial image having a predetermined density and, based on a measurement result of the density of the toner image obtained by the measuring unit, controls at least one selected from: a charge potential at which the image holding member is charged by the charging unit; an exposure amount at which the image holding member is exposed by the latent image-forming unit; and a development potential at which the toner is developed by the development unit, so that the measurement result obtained by the measurement unit becomes substantially equal to the predetermined density.
