An image forming apparatus which includes a photosensitive member and an
image forming station. The image forming station includes a charging
device for charging the member, an exposure device for exposing the
member to light, a developing device for developing an electrostatic
latent image on the member, and a bias applying device for applying a
developing bias. The image forming apparatus also includes, a transfer
device for transferring a toner image to a sheet, a setting device for
setting an AC voltage, an executing device for executing a test mode, a
density detecting device for detecting the density of the test image, and
an adjusting device for adjusting an image forming condition for the
station. When the executing device executes the test mode, test images
can formed at various AC voltages.
