像の画像とび(画像消失)を発生させることになる。(Prior art) Conventionally, a copy density adjustment device measures the density at multiple locations on a document, calculates all the measured values, calculates an average value, recognizes the background density of the document, and adjusts the copy density. The method is known. However, in this method, the density measurement point is not always located in the background area of the document, and there is a high possibility that the density of the image area, such as a literature section or a solid black area of a photograph, is measured. If the density measurement points appear in the image area, the background density of the original will be perceived to be darker than it actually is, which will cause image skipping (image disappearance) in the copied image when copying the original.

(allows only the optical scanner to scan without actually performing a copying operation). That is, first, the exposure lamp 13 is turned on, the solenoid 37 is turned on, and the optical sensor 36 is moved into the optical path. Next, the optical scanner is moved from its normal stop position, and at the same time a timer T is set. When the timer T1 times out, measurement of the original density is started, and the value measured by the optical sensor 36 is taken in through the amplifier 40 and digitized. Timer T2 performs the operation of sequentially storing data in M8.

る。It will be stored in ~M8. Thereafter, the movement of the optical scanner is reversed to turn off the exposure lamp 13, and at the same time, the solenoid 37 is turned off to move the optical sensor 36 out of the optical path. When the home position switch detects that the optical scanner has returned to the normal stop position, the optical scanner is stopped. Next, in the normal copy mode, the area M1 in the data memory 43 is
A calculation is performed to calculate the background density of the document from the data of ~M8. That is, the data in memory areas M, to M8 are compared with the high concentration comparison condition, and the number of data that is below this comparison condition and the total sum of the data are calculated, and the number of data that is greater than the comparison condition and that data are calculated. Calculate the total H. Here, the high density comparison condition is set to a level where the density is higher than the predetermined background density detection area. For example, the background density detection area is set to 0 to 0.5 in terms of density, the density higher than 6 is set as the image part such as characters, and the measured value of density 0.0 to 0.5 is sent from the amplifier 4° to the control unit 38. The high concentration comparison condition is set to a level corresponding to a concentration of 0.6 by inputting it as an input signal voltage of 0 to 5V (concentration 0.0→OV, concentration 0.5→5V, etc.). put. Since the number of data is 8, if K+L=8, the process advances to the next step. If the number of pieces of data with a higher density than the high density comparison condition is greater than the set value, for example 6 (75% of the total number of data 8), these L pieces of data are the measured density values of a part of the background of the document, not the image area. It is determined that there is, and the average value (H-1-D)/8 of all the data is calculated and used as data DATA of the background density of the document. But L
If it is less than 75% (5 or less), it is determined that the L data whose density is lower than the high density comparison condition is the result of accidentally measuring the density of image areas such as text and photographs, and these are deleted. Then, D/K is calculated and used as original background density data DATA. This original background density data DATA is code-converted, and for example, even if OV≦DATA<0.7V, it is set to 0000, and if 0.7V≦DATA<1. .. 000 for 4V
1, 1.4■≦DATA (001 if 2, I V

11, and 2.8v≦DATA<3. .. 5'l:ra0
100, 3.5 V ≦DATA (0 if 4.2V
If 4.2≦DATA, the code is set to 101, and if 4.2≦DATA is set to 0110, this code is output to the developing bias device 42. Next, shift to normal copy mode and start copying, and the copying operation for the set number of sheets is completed! When this happens, one data A TA is initialized (DATA=φ). The developing bias device 42 continuously applies a developing bias voltage corresponding to a code from the control unit 38 to the developing sleeve 35 when a copying operation is being performed, and applies a developing bias voltage to the developing sleeve 35 when a copying operation is not being performed. No voltage applied. 1
When copying only one sheet of an original, the original background density data DATA is displayed each time before the start of the copying operation.
When copying a plurality of sheets of original, the data DATA of the original background density is displayed before the start of the first copying operation (immediately after the print switch 41 is turned on).
The developing bias voltage during multiple copying operations is determined by A. The developing bias device 42 determines the developing bias voltage according to the code from the control section 38 as shown in the table below.

The developing bias voltage and the input voltage of the exposure lamp 13 may be adjusted by the following. Furthermore, the control unit 38 reads data from the optical sensor 36 via the amplifier 40, but this can also be done by reading the instantaneous data at each reading timing, or by reading the data at a time of about 10 to 20 m5eC at each reading timing. Then, during the processing, each of the data may be integrated to obtain eight pieces of data.

It may also be input as a measured value. In the control unit 38, the average value of a plurality of data is used as the document background density, but the document background density may be calculated by calculating the maximum value, minimum value, etc. of the plurality of data. Furthermore, although density measurements at multiple locations on the document are performed using the optical sensor 36, an electrostatic latent image of the document is formed on the photoreceptor drum 11, and the potentials at multiple locations are measured using a surface electrometer. You can do it like this.

At the same time, the number of concentration measurement values higher than the comparison condition is compared with a preset number, and if the number of concentration measurement values higher than the comparison condition is less than the set number, the comparison is performed. Density measurement values with higher densities than the comparison conditions are treated as density measurement values of the image area and deleted, and the original background density is calculated from the density measurement values with lower densities than the comparison conditions. A copying density adjusting device comprising a background density determining means for calculating the original background density from all measured density values when the density is greater than the above set value, and an adjusting means for adjusting the copying density based on the output signal of the background density determining means. .
