Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus, a storage portion stores a target adhesion amount of toner to adhere to an image bearing member at each of gradation levels as a target gradation level and a setting value of a control parameter used for control on the image forming portion at the target gradation level. A first control processor makes an adhesion amount sensor measure an actual adhesion amount corresponding to the setting value and thereafter compares a resultant measured value and the target adhesion amount and corrects the setting value if needed in association with at least one of the target gradation levels as a subject. A second control processor makes the image forming portion output a calibration image used for correcting the target adhesion amount using a period when the first control processor performs processing if there arises a need to correct the target adhesion amount associated with the subject.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein\n the second control processor makes the image forming portion form a measuring image to be used for measurement of the actual adhesion amount on the image bearing member and thereafter makes the adhesion amount sensor measure the actual adhesion amount on the measuring image, and the first control processor makes the image forming portion output a printed matter of the measuring image as the printed matter of the calibration image.
