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 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller sets at least one of control of transfer voltage to the parts, resistance detection control for the parts, and drive control for the parts as the process condition for the image former.
