ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus which forms an image on a photosensitive member, the image formed on the photosensitive member is classified by a respective kind of the image. The image forming apparatus comprises a storage unit which stores a cumulative value of a pixel value by a respective kind of the image; adding means for adding the pixel value of a respective pixel of the image formed on the photosensitive member, to the cumulative value stored in the storage unit and corresponding to the kind of the image; and toner consumption calculating means for calculating a toner consumption based on the cumulative value stored in the storage unit. An image forming apparatus capable of totaling the pixel value by a respective kind of the image and calculating the toner consumption by a respective kind of the image is realized.
