Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: an image former having parts provided in a replaceable manner to be used for image formation; a sensing part that detects a characteristic value of the parts; and a controller that determines whether the characteristic value of the parts, which fluctuates immediately after manufacture, is in a stable state based on a comparison between information regarding the characteristic value of the parts based on a detection result of the sensing part and a threshold value and sets a process condition for the image former based on the detected characteristic value when determining that the characteristic value of the parts is not in the stable state.

Claim (Index 13):
A control method for an image forming apparatus having parts provided in a replaceable manner to be used for image formation, the control method comprising:\n detecting a characteristic value of the parts; determining whether the characteristic value of the parts, which fluctuates immediately after manufacture, is in a stable state based on a comparison between information regarding the characteristic value of the parts based on a detection result and a threshold value; and setting a process condition for an image former based on the detected characteristic value when it is determined that the characteristic value of the parts is not in the stable state.
