Claims18
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- an image forming unit which comprises a cartridge having a toner therein to form an image;
- and
- a controller to control the image forming unit to increase a density of the image to be formed, if it is determined that a standard of the cartridge does not meet a usage requirement.
An image forming method of an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether a standard of a cartridge of the image forming apparatus meets a usage requirement;
- and
- raising a density of the image to be formed, if it is determined that the standard of the cartridge does not meet the usage requirement.
An image forming apparatus usable with a cartridge having toner, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a photosensitive body;
- a developing unit cooperating with the photosensitive body to form an image;
- and
- a controller to control a density of the image so that a lifetime of the photosensitive body and the developing unit correspond to an amount of the toner remaining in the cartridge.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a receiving portion to receive a cartridge;
- a determining unit to determine whether the cartridge does not conform to a predetermined usage requirement;
- and
- a controller to vary a density of an image to be formed based on the determination that the cartridge does not conform to the predetermined usage requirement.
A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program to execute a method, wherein the method comprises:
- determining whether a standard of a cartridge of the image forming apparatus meets a usage requirement;
- and
- raising a density of the image to be formed based on a determination that the standard of the cartridge does not meet the usage requirement.
