An optical print head comprises a first light emitting element row, a second light emitting element row, a lens array, a first drive circuit and a second drive circuit. The first light emitting element row includes the arrangement of first light emitting elements. The second light emitting element row includes second light emitting elements arranged in parallel with the first light emitting element row. The lens array concentrates light emitted by the first light emitting elements and the second light emitting elements. The first drive circuit drives each first light emitting element with an identical first current value. The second drive circuit drives each second light emitting element with an identical second current value different from the first current value.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a developing unit to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the image bearing member with toner, and a detachable toner container in which toner for supplying to the developing unit is contained. A measuring unit measures information relating to an amount of toner in the developing unit, and a determination unit determines an amount of toner in the developing unit based on the measured information. In a case where the determination unit determines that the toner container is empty, a supply operation for supplying toner from the toner container to the developing unit is performed and the measuring unit measures the information relating to an amount of toner in the toner container after the supply operation is performed, and in a case where the information relating to an amount of toner in the toner container measured after the supply operation is performed is within a measurement error range, the determination unit determines that the toner container is empty.
