    Abstract: A toner quantity measuring apparatus in which an input offset voltage is applied to the output side of an irradiation quantity monitoring light receiving element, so that a light emitting element remains turned off unless a light quantity control signal exceeds a predetermined signal level. Prior to irradiation of light upon an intermediate transfer belt and measurement of a toner quantity, a light quantity control signal below the predetermined signal level is supplied to an irradiation quantity adjusting unit and the light emitting element is turned off without fail. A memory stores, as a dark output voltage, an output voltage from a reflection quantity detecting unit upon the turning off. Light reflected from the intermediate transfer belt is split into p-polarized and s-polarized light to detect a toner quantity and colors of the toner. In actual measurement of the toner quantity, with light irradiated upon the intermediate transfer belt, the dark output voltage is subtracted from the output voltage outputted from the reflection quantity detecting unit, whereby an influence of the dark output voltage is eliminated.

    Abstract: In an apparatus, first and second processing modes are prepared to determine an optimal development bias. Either one of the first processing mode and the second processing mode is selected as a processing mode in accordance with an operation status of the apparatus. Hence, it is possible to select and execute the most appropriate processing mode in accordance with an operation status to thereby efficiently and highly accurately determine an optimal value of a development bias which is one density controlling factor.

    Abstract: Power transmission members (91), which transmit rotational drive force from a drive source (81), such as a motor, to an intermediate transfer drum (41D) is elastically deformed due to a load change which is generated as a cleaning part (49) contacts and moves away from the intermediate transfer drum (41D). Registration control amounts (Ra, Rb and Rc) attributed to the elastic deformation are obtained in advance. Transfer start positions for toner images in at least one or more toner colors out of four toner colors are corrected based on the registration control amounts (Ra, Rb and Rc), whereby registration deviations are suppressed to minimum and a high-quality color image is obtained.
