Abstract
The present invention is directed to an image density control device in an image formation apparatus where a pattern of reference density on a sample original is exposed to light from an exposing light source to image the pattern on photoconductor, density of the resultant toner image is detected by a reflection-type photosensor, and parameters on image density are adjusted based upon results of detection by the reflection-type photosensor. In the image density control device in the image formation apparatus, the sample original is mounted on a cabinet of the image formation apparatus so that a distance from the exposing light source in illuminating the pattern of the reference density to the pattern of the reference density can be adjusted.
