Abstract: An image forming apparatus is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a developing device, a gap retaining member and a control unit. The control unit decreases a potential difference according to an increase in the drive amounts of the image bearing member and the developer bearing member. The decrease is based on a difference according to an increase in at least one of the drive amounts of the image bearing member and the developer bearing member. The control unit is also configured to determine whether to execute a mode based on information about at least one of the driving amounts of the image bearing member and the developer bearing member from when the developing device is initially installed or the developing device is replaced.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion for forming an image on a recording material, a sensor to detect a toner image formed by the image forming portion, and a correcting portion to correct an image forming condition of the image forming portion on the basis of a result of detection, by the sensor, of a first control toner image formed by the image forming portion. In addition, a supply controller controls a developer supplying operation on the basis of a result of detection, by the sensor, of a second control toner image formed by the image forming portion. A controller controls an image forming condition such that the first control toner image is formed at the image forming speed of a second image forming mode, and the second control toner image is formed after the image forming speed is changed to a third image forming speed which is higher than the second image forming speed.
