An image forming apparatus includes a developer container that holds a
two-component developer, a toner concentration detector that detects
toner concentration in the developer, a toner supplying unit configured
to supply new toner to a developing unit, a toner supply controlling unit
that compares an output of the toner concentration detector and a toner
concentration reference value Vtref to control the toner supplying unit.
The image forming apparatus detects an output of the toner concentration
sensor with respect to a plurality of linear velocities, and calculates
linear velocity shift amounts .DELTA.Vt1=(Vt1-Vt0) and
.DELTA.Vt2=(Vt2-Vt0) to be reflected in a toner supply control parameter.
