An image forming apparatus in which the control of toner supply can be effected
well irrespective of an image forming mode (image forming speed). The density of
a toner in a developer contained in a developer containing portion is detected
by a toner density sensor. A controller controls the supply of the toner to the
developer containing portion so that the density of the toner detected by the toner
density sensor may assume a predetermined target value. When the last developing
operation is executed at an ordinary speed, whereafter next developing operation
is executed at a low speed, a toner image of predetermined density is formed, and
the density of this toner image is detected by an image density sensor. The controller
determines an amount of toner supply by the use of the target value corrected on
the basis of the detection output of the image density sensor, and the detection
output of the toner density sensor.
