Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a developer casing that accommodates a developer; an developer detector that is disposed in the developer casing, and that detects, based on magnetic force, the developer from a plurality of detection ranges that is close to each other and is disposed side by side in a vertical direction in the developer casing; and a hardware processor that performs control of detecting a liquid level position of the developer in the developer casing, based on a detection result detected by the developer detector.

Claim (Index 10):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 9 , further comprising:\n a switcher capable of switching a detection range for detecting the developer among the plurality of detection ranges, wherein the hardware processor controls the switcher such that the developer detector does not simultaneously detect the two detection ranges adjacent to each other.
