Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a developing device, an image bearing member, an image density detecting portion, a toner content detecting portion, a humidity sensor, a supplying portion, and a controller configured to control the supplying portion so that a toner content is between an upper limit and a lower limit thereof. The controller can execute setting control in which the target value of the toner content is set on the basis of an image density of a reference toner image. The controller sets the lower limit until execution of subsequent setting control, wherein the lower limit is higher when a humidity is a first humidity and an average image ratio is a first ratio than when the humidity is a second humidity higher than the first humidity and the average image ratio is a second ratio larger than the first ratio.

Claim (Index 12):
An image forming apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein said image density detecting portion is an optical sensor receiving reflected light of light with which said image bearing member is irradiated.
