10.4.3 Principle of Image Quality Sensor
The image quality sensor applies the light to the drum and test pattern (toner image) developed on the
drum and outputs the voltage corresponding to its reflected light amount.
Toner amount on the drum is calculated from the reflected light amount obtained by this sensor.

Start controlling (e.g. during the pre-running after the power has been turned ON)
[6] Changing of the image formation condition
YES NO
[1] Setting of the reference image formation condition
[2] Adjustment of the sensor
[3] Formation of the test pattern
[4] Reading of the value for the image quality sensor
[5] Determination
(Is the toner amount of the test pattern within the permissible amount?)
[7] Finish controlling
