Abstract

PURPOSE:Not to perform the automatic density adjustment hereafter for the purpose of preventing the disturbance of picture quality due to an error when the error is increased, by detecting the error of the automatic density adjustment and inhibiting the automatic density adjustment if the error of the automatic density adjustment using a target image of a certain reference is increased. CONSTITUTION:In a ROM6, a program is stored which inhibits the automatic density adjustment in case of the increase of the error of the automatic density adjustment to perform the density adjustment with a certain level automatically independently of the output of a density reader 2. A CPU4 performs such control that the automatic density adjustment based on the variable density of the target image developed on a photosensitive drum is not performed and the density adjustment is performed forcibly with a certain level if the error of the automatic density adjustment is increased. If the error of the automatic density adjustment is increased, the density is not controlled automatically still in this state but the automatic density adjustment is inhibited, thereby eliminating the disturbance of copy quality due to the error.

Conventionally, some copying machines have an automatic density adjustment function that takes a close-up copy of a couget image in a sunblink container and produces a copy of the image. 7 Automatic adjustment of density 11 or control to automatically set factors such as exposure amount that can vary the density to an appropriate value 11 This is done according to the Terkerat image that serves as the reference. If the sensor for automatic density adjustment, which extracts the density detection output for determining the shading of the image, is dirty or the sensor has deteriorated, the error in automatic density adjustment will increase, and the shading of the Kugett image based on a certain standard will increase. Judgments will no longer be made accurately.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of this invention.
An example will be shown in which a target image based on the 1'All standard for sampling is developed on a photosensitive drum of a copying machine, and the density of the toner image is detected to perform automatic density adjustment.

The memory (RAM) +61 is a read-only memory (ROM), and as shown in the flowchart in Figure 2, this ROM +61 stores information about the automatic density when the error in automatic density adjustment becomes large. A program is stored that prohibits adjustment and automatically adjusts the concentration at a constant level regardless of the output of the concentration reading device (2). The above CI) U (41) does not perform automatic density adjustment based on the density of the target image developed on the photoreceptor drum when the error in automatic density adjustment becomes large, but remains forced and constant. The density is controlled to be adjusted at the level of .

-1- When a determination result of No is obtained in the determination step described above, it is determined that the density of the target image can be accurately determined within an allowable range during automatic density adjustment, and this program is terminated. - As mentioned above, the smaller the sampling value obtained by sampling, the dirtier the drum surface is, so if the judgment result in the judgment step above is YES, the error is within the allowable range for automatic density adjustment. It is assumed that the density of the target image cannot be judged accurately and the copy quality deteriorates due to errors, so automatic density adjustment is prohibited, and automatic density adjustment is disabled. Control the density adjustment using the level.

In this way, when the error in automatic density adjustment becomes large, instead of allowing the automatic density adjustment to continue in that state, the copy quality due to the error is improved by disabling automatic density adjustment. 9. It may be possible to get rid of the drool, but if it is prohibited, the concentration will be automatically adjusted at a certain rate after that, so it will be used in the short term until Zahisman visits regularly. It is also possible to maintain good copy quality.
