An image forming apparatus has a first image formation mode for forming an
image on an image bearing member by using developer under a first
predetermined image forming condition and a second image formation mode
for forming an image on an image bearing member by using developer under
a second image forming condition which is different from the first
predetermined image forming condition and is set so that an amount of
consumption of developer with respect to an identical image in the second
image formation mode is smaller than that in the first image formation
mode, the apparatus includes storing means for storing information on an
amount of usage of the image bearing member, and control means for
changing the second image forming condition in the second image formation
mode depending on the information stored in the storing means.
