ABSTRACT:
A toner concentration controller which activates a toner replenishing motor to replenish toner when the concentration of the toner in a developer unit which develops an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor drum is a predetermined value or lower. The ON period of the toner replenishing motor is controlled based on paper feed information (e.g. preset development quantity, both-side/one-side copying, and development speed) of a copy sheet to which the developed image is to be transferred.
