摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an adjustment processing portion, an acquisition processing portion, and a determination processing portion. Each time an adjustment condition is satisfied during execution of an image forming process, the adjustment processing portion uses toner to adjust one adjustment target selected in accordance with a specific order among a plurality of adjustment targets related to image quality of an output image output by the image forming process. The acquisition processing portion acquires variation amount information related to an amount of variation in a state value related to an image forming portion caused by a start of the image forming process. The determination processing portion determines an adjustment target to be adjusted first after the start of the image forming process by the adjustment processing portion, based on the variation amount information acquired by the acquisition processing portion.

摘要: A cartridge includes a photosensitive drum and a developing roller configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum. A first frame rotatably supports the photosensitive drum and a second frame rotatably supports the developing roller. A movable member is movable with respect to the second frame, with the movable member including a first force receiving surface and a second force receiving surface. The second frame is movable relative to the first frame between a contact position in which the developing roller is in contact with the photosensitive drum and a spaced position in which the developing roller is spaced from the photosensitive drum. The second force receiving surface is capable of being moved by the first force receiving surface between a first position and a second position, and the second frame is capable of being moved by the second force receiving surface from the contact position toward the spaced position.
