Between Fig. 5 (B) and Fig. 5 (C), the variation of development contrast current potential is suppressed the least, therefore, when Fig. 5 (B) The paper of rear printing the and initially difference of the image color of the paper of printing is suppressed the least when Fig. 5 (C).
Then, the state change to hypomere illustrates.Fig. 5 (D) shows the continuous printing when Fig. 5 (A) The performing of task way starts primary image stabilization control and toner adhesion amount few in the case of development contrast The adjustment of current potential.Here, suppose that development contrast current potential adjustment portion 206 obtain 460 be used as make toner adhesion amount with The adjusted value Vc1 of the development contrast current potential that desired value is consistent.Develop determined by last image stabilization controls right It is 400 than last setting value Vc0 of degree current potential, therefore, in the change of the development contrast current potential in image stabilization control Limit value A is 20(A=Vc0/100 × 5=400/100 × 5).Additionally, last setting value Vc0 of development contrast current potential and development The poor Δ Vc of the adjusted value Vc1 of contrast current potential is 60(Δ Vc=460-400).Accordingly, because difference Δ Vc is more than A, so will print The development contrast current potential Vc of brush is adjusted to 420(Vc=Vc0+A=400+20).
Fig. 5 (E) shows and starts second time when Fig. 5 (D) in the execution way of same continuous printing task The adjustment of the development contrast current potential in the case of image stabilization control.Here, suppose that development contrast current potential adjustment portion 206 Obtain the 440 adjusted value Vc1 being used as making the toner adhesion amount development contrast current potential consistent with desired value.Due to upper Determined by image stabilization control once, last setting value Vc0 of development contrast current potential is 420, and therefore, image is steady Change higher limit A of the development contrast current potential in fixedization control is 21(A=Vc0/100 × 5=420/100 × 5).Additionally, it is aobvious The poor Δ Vc of last setting value Vc0 of shadow contrast current potential and the adjusted value Vc1 of development contrast current potential is 20(Δ Vc= 440-420).Accordingly, because difference Δ Vc is less than A, so the development contrast current potential Vc of printing is adjusted to 440(Vc= Vc1).Between Fig. 5 (D) and Fig. 5 (E), the variation of development contrast current potential is suppressed the least, therefore, at the shape of Fig. 5 (D) The difference of the image color of the paper finally printed under state and the paper initially printed when Fig. 5 (E) is suppressed the least.
So, according to the image processing system involved by present embodiment, the image stabilization control in continuous printing way During the execution made, it is not that the target of the directly development contrast current potential that reflection obtains from the toner adhesion amount of pattern image is adjusted Whole value, but confirm the difference of image-forming condition determined by the execution that the image stabilization with the last time controls, with steady at image Before and after fixedization controls, image-forming condition will not once change the biggest mode, and the amount of change of image-forming condition is set restriction.Therefore, Even if in the case of starting image stabilization control during the execution of continuous printing task, it is also possible to by image stabilization control The difference of the image color before and after the execution of system suppresses less.
