1. A method of controlling an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a transfer medium, comprising:

  • a determination step of determining that a characteristic of the transfer medium has changed;

    an entering step for allowing an operator to enter whether or not a density sensing sequence is to be executed, based upon the determination of the change in the characteristic of the transfer medium;

    a step of executing the density sensing sequence in a case where the fact that said sequence is to be executed has been entered, the density sensing sequence including a sensing step of forming an image, which is for sensing density, on the transfer medium, and sensing this density-sensing image on the transfer medium; and

    a step of deciding image forming conditions of the image forming apparatus based upon result of sensing density in the density sensing sequence.
