Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate a picture density adjustment by adjusting a developing bias voltage through a common adjusting means in the image forming device which is switched between a mode of formation from a negative original to a positive image and a mode of formation from a positive original to a positive image. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 20 judges whether the mode of image formation is an N-P mode or P-P mode on the basis of the output of a switching detecting circuit 22. When the mode is the N-P mode, a variable resistance VR2 is placed in an adjustable state and a remote signal VREM at this time decreases in level as a density adjusting knob 10 is operated from a division 1 to a division 9. The developing bias voltage also drops accordingly, so the image density decreases. Thus, an adjusting circuit makes the display on a density scale coincident to the density of an image regardless of whether the mode is the N-P or P-P mode, so the operation for the image density is facilitated.

The image forming apparatus shown in FIG. 1 performs N-P mote and P-P mote image formation. In the case of the N-P mode, first, a photoreceptor 1 whose conductor is covered with a photoconductive layer is charged with a negative charge of 91" by a primary charger 2 in a dark place, and a negative original image light 3 is projected thereon. A negative electrostatic latent image is formed.This electrostatic latent image is reversely developed using negatively charged toner supplied from the developing device 4.A negative DC voltage is superimposed on the AC voltage on the developing sleeve 4a and the plate 4b. A bias voltage (biased AC voltage HAC) is applied, and the negatively charged toner jumps to the image-exposed bright area (surface potential approximately O) of the photoreceptor 1 and is developed.The negatively charged toner image is transferred by the transfer charger 5. Transfer is performed by generating a positive corona discharge from the back side of the transfer material P.P
- When switching to the P mode and forming an image, first set the developing device 4 to one that can supply positively charged toner.

However, as shown in FIG. 2, in the NP mode, the higher the developing bias voltage is, the higher the density becomes, whereas in the PP mode, conversely, the higher the developing bias voltage is, the lower the density is. Conventionally, the development bias voltage has been increased or decreased using a variable resistor connected to a single density adjustment scale.
When switching between the P mode and the P mode, the direction of the adjustment scale is reversed, making it easy to operate erroneously. It is also conceivable that the N-P mode and the P-P mode are adjusted using separate density adjustment scales and variable resistors connected thereto. However, this method increases the number of operating parts, making it complicated and difficult to perform, and does not necessarily prevent erroneous operations. Further, there is a drawback that the number of parts increases and the cost increases.
