摘要： An image It is formed as a patch image which includes a header image portion Ih of a solid image having a length of a circumferential length of a developing roller or more, and a gradation image portion Ig progressively varied in the tone level thereof from the maximum level to the minimum level. The densities of the patch image on an intermediate transfer belt are sampled. However, the sampling results contain errors resulting from noises or variations and hence, are subjected to a noise removal process, a periodical variation correction process and a reverse correction process. The results detected on the intermediate transfer belt do not always coincide with image densities (OD values) on a recording material. Therefore, the detection results are converted into the OD values, based on which tone characteristics of an apparatus is estimated. Then a tone correction table is updated in a manner to compensate for the tone characteristics. This approach is taken to improve image quality on the recording material.
摘要翻译：图像形成为补片图像，其包括具有显影辊或其以上的周长的长度的实心图像的标题图像部分Ih，并且其色调级别中的渐变图像部分Ig从最大值逐渐变化水平达到最低水平。对中间转印带上的贴片图像的密度进行采样。然而，采样结果包含由噪声或变化引起的误差，因此，进行噪声去除处理，周期性变化校正处理和反向校正处理。在中间转印带上检测到的结果并不总是与记录材料上的图像密度（OD值）重合。因此，根据估计装置的音调特性，将检测结果转换成OD值。然后以补偿色调特性的方式更新色调校正表。采取这种方法来改善记录材料上的图像质量。

摘要： When the remaining toner amount within a developer is relatively large, a control target value of a toner amount is set to Ttgt1, and a lower limit value of a toner amount which can regarded proper is set to TL1. When the density of a patch image formed under a predetermined condition is smaller than a minimum guaranteed density Dma, it is determined abnormality has occurred in the apparatus. Since the characteristic of toner within the developer changes as the remaining toner amount decreases, the control target value is changed to Ttgt2 and the lower limit value is set to TL2 in light of this. In this fashion, regardless of whether the toner characteristic has changed, abnormality in the apparatus is detected without fail.
摘要翻译：当显影剂中的剩余调色剂量相对较大时，将调色剂量的控制目标值设置为Ttgt 1，将可以认为适当的调色剂量的下限值设置为TL 1。当在预定条件下形成的贴片图像的浓度小于最小保证密度Dma时，确定在装置中发生异常。由于显影剂中的调色剂的特性随着剩余调色剂量的减少而发生变化，所以根据此，将控制目标值改变为Ttgt2，将下限值设定为TL2。以这种方式，无论调色剂特性是否改变，装置中的异常都被检测到。

摘要： A condition controlling process is executed when parameters expressing a state of toner within a developer reaches predetermined threshold values. On each one of two parameters, namely, a dot count value which is indicative of a toner consumption amount (an integrated value of the number of dots formed using an exposure beam) and a developer roller rotating time which is indicative of the degree of toner fatigue, a threshold value (denoted at the dotted lines) which triggers execution of the condition controlling process is set. At the time that the path d of dots which are expressed as combinations of these parameters intersects each dotted line (the intersections (1) through (6)), the condition controlling process is executed.

摘要： Based on a video signal, a toner dot counter and an off dot counter detect a size of a toner dot portion to carry an adherent toner thereto and a size of an off dot portion not to carry an adherent toner, respectively. Reference is made to a look-up table based on the detection results, so as to retrieve a coefficient Kv corresponding to a combination of the sizes of the toner dot portion and the off dot portion. A count value Cdot given by the toner dot counter is multiplied by the coefficient Kv, while the resultant product is integrated by an accumulator. An integration value for an image of one page is multiplied by a coefficient K0 equivalent to a toner adhesion percentage of solid image. Thus is determined a toner consumption TC on the page image.
