    Abstract: An amount of toner transfer on a reference pattern is calculated by using an optical detecting unit that detects both regular reflection light and diffuse reflection light from a detection target simultaneously, based on a relative ratio between a value obtained by subtracting a result of multiplying a “diffuse reflection output” by a “minimum value of a ratio between a regular reflection output and the diffuse reflection output” from the “regular reflection output” of the density detection reference pattern, and a value obtained by subtracting a result of multiplying the “diffuse reflection output” by a “minimum value of a ratio between the regular reflection output and the diffuse reflection output” from the “regular reflection output” in the background of a transfer belt or an intermediate transfer body.

    Abstract: Using a document scanner or other image input device of an image or document processing system to periodically scan or image printed test images from a plurality of marking engines replaces internal sensors as a feedback means in image quality control. For example, image lightness (L*) is controlled by periodically printing mid-tone test patches, scanning the printed test patches with a main job document scanner and analyzing the scanned image to determine updated marking engine actuator set points. For instance, ROS exposure and/or scorotron grid voltages are adjusted to maintain image lightness consistency between marking engines.

    Abstract: A color image forming apparatus includes a first density detecting unit for detecting a density of a first detection toner image formed on an image bearing member or a transferring material carrying member, and a second density detecting unit for detecting a density of a second detection toner image fixed onto a transferring material, and executes image density control based on a detection result of the first density detecting unit and a detection result of the second density detecting unit. A detecting light application position of the first density detecting unit and a detection light application position of the second density detecting unit are almost equal relative to a perpendicular direction to a transferring material conveying direction. It is thereby possible to shorten time required for density control and to prevent deterioration of density control accuracy caused by a temporal change and a positional change in the density of a detection toner patch.
