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 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein\n if an absolute value of a difference between the resultant measured value measured through the second control processor and the target adhesion amount is equal to or greater than a given value, the first control processor determines that the correction of the target adhesion amount is necessary.
