Abstract

A bias condition determination portion of an image forming device executes each of: a first approximation expression determination operation that respectively acquires the DC component of the development current with at least three peak-to-peak voltages included in a first measurement range and determines a first expression showing a relation between the peak-to-peak voltage and the DC component of the acquired development current, a second approximation expression determination operation that respectively acquires the DC component of the development current with at least three peak-to-peak voltages included in a second measurement range larger than the first measurement range and determines a second approximation expression showing a relation between the peak-to-peak voltage and the DC component of the acquired development current, and a reference voltage determination operation that determines, as a reference peak-to-peak voltage, the peak-to-peak voltage at an intersection where the first approximation expression and the second approximation expression intersect each other.
