Abstract
A bias condition determiner executes, in order, a first direct current voltage determination mode (first DC calibration) for determining a provisional reference direct current voltage that is a provisional reference for a direct current voltage of a developing bias applied to a developing roller, an inter-peak voltage determination mode (AC calibration) for determining a reference inter-peak voltage that is a reference for an inter-peak voltage of an alternating current voltage of the developing bias applied to the developing roller in an image forming operation, and a second direct current voltage determination mode (second DC calibration) for determining a reference direct current voltage that is a reference for the direct current voltage of the developing bias applied to the developing roller in the image forming operation.
