Abstract
In the first potential difference adjustment mode, the fogging toner amount is predicted from a toner charge amount and a fogging toner current sensed by a current sensing portion with a zero surface potential on the image carrying member. In the second potential difference adjustment mode, the carrier development amount is predicted from a toner concentration, a carrier charge amount calculated based on the toner charge amount, and a carrier development current sensed by the current sensing portion with a zero surface potential on the image carrying member.
