Abstract

An actual toner density of the two component developing agent in the developing device can be estimated based on a value Y obtained by the following equation: ##EQU1## wherein Yp is the number of papers supplied to the developing device, Ye is the number of envelopes supplied to the developing device, Cp is a value proportional to changes in the toner density of the two component developing agent in the developing device when the image forming operation is carried out with paper and Ce is a value proportional to changes in the toner density of the two component developing agent in the developing device when the image forming operation is carried out with envelopes. Based on the above-described estimation, an appropriate amount of toner can be replenished into the developing device.
