ABSTRACT:
An amount of toner consumption accompanying development of an image corresponding to the image data is calculated based on image data, and a corrected consumption amount is calculated by multiplying the calculated amount of toner consumption by a predetermined correction ratio that is less than 1. Further, toner is supplied based on the calculated corrected consumption amount. As a result, it is possible to prevent excessive supply of toner, and to supply toner without time delay.
