Abstract
According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus supplies toner to a photoreceptor on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. A toner sensor of the image forming apparatus outputs a signal corresponding to the amount of adhering toner on an image carrier to which the toner is transferred from the photoreceptor. A memory of the image forming apparatus stores a target value including a correction value of image stabilization control of stabilizing an image for each type of toner. The image forming apparatus performs the image stabilization control of setting an output value of the toner sensor to the target value including the correction value for each type of toner.
