Patent ID: 6983111

Claim:
An image formation device that transfers toner images formed with toners of multiple colors onto a recording medium, so as to form a color image, said image formation device comprising: a specification module that specifies either formation of a composite color image or formation of a monochromatic image; a control module that, when said specification module specifies formation of the composite color image, controls to selectively apply a color image adjustment operation for toner density adjustment that adjusts a toner density of each toner image formed, while controlling to selectively apply a monochromatic image adjustment operation for the toner density adjustment when said specification module specifies formation of the monochromatic image; and an information acquisition module that acquires information on color of toner filled in each toner cartridge from each of storage elements mounted on multiple toner cartridges, which are attached to said image formation device, wherein said specification module specifies formation of the composite color image or formation of the monochromatic image, based on the information on the color of toner acquired by said information acquisition module.
