摘要： A system which utilizes plural image forming apparatus, equalizes gradation characteristics of images commonly output from such plural image forming apparatus. When the system includes three color copying apparatus, at first a test pattern image based on data from a pattern generator is output from the color copying apparatus. The prepared image is read by the reader of the color copying apparatus, and, based on the read data, the correction data of a table (LUT) are calibrated for obtaining density data for a laser beam. The calibration of the correction data of the color copying apparatus are conducted in a similar manner using, however, the reader of the same copying apparatus for reading the test pattern. It is therefore, rendered possible to exclude the influence of the difference in the reader characteristics on the calibration, and to equalize the gradation characteristics when the copying apparatus are used as printers.

摘要： When pixels in a two-dimensional matrix are divided into lines A and B in the column (or row) direction (sub-scanning direction) and two neighboring pixels in the row (or column) direction are subjected to gradation correction respectively using characteristic curves for lines A and B, the characteristic curve for line B unpreferably has a stepwise characteristic portion having a step when it is stored in an LUT, due to quantization errors unique to digital values. Hence, the characteristic curve for line A is set to be decreased by the amount corresponding to the step.

摘要： When maximum density of an output image is lowered by a gamma correction, the number of tones is reduced and the tonality of the output image declines. In order to solve this problem, a pattern generator (215) is caused to generate a toned pattern and the gain of a D/A converter of a PWM circuit (212) is controlled so as to output a test pattern having a density ranging from maximum pulse width Pff(50%) to maximum pulse width Pff(100%) for each color component (step S1). Image information that has been read (step S2) from the test pattern is converted to density information (step S3), and Pff is set (step S4) from the relationship between Pff and image density based upon coordinate information provided by the test pattern.

摘要： An image can be outputted with a high sharpness without deteriorating a resolution. In order to output an image of a high picture quality while suppressing the occurrence of a moire, an exposure amount is modulated in accordance with pixel density information of the image divided into pixels of a predetermined size by an exposure amount modulating unit in a light scanning unit, thereby expressing an image dark/light state. In this case, in a highlight density region in which a pixel density is equal to or less than ⅓ of the maximum image density, the density data of two adjoining pixels is modulated by one pixel and the other pixel is not recorded. In a density region in which the image density lies within a range from ⅓ to ½ of the maximum image density, a part of the density data of one of the two adjoining pixels is transposed to the other pixel. In a density region in which the image density is equal to or larger than ½ of the maximum density, the pixel transposition is not performed.

摘要： When a gradation test pattern is read a predetermined period of time after the gradation test pattern was fixed, the correction amount can be controlled based on a stable image density, and an image with good gradation characteristics can be formed. A gradation test pattern including all color patterns is output in accordance with a gradation test pattern registered in a test pattern memory area, and at the same time, a timer is started. After an elapse of a predetermined period of time stored in a RAM, the output gradation test pattern is read by an original reader. On the basis of the read image density, a .gamma.-LUT is set.

摘要： An object of the present invention is the forming over a long period of time of images that have a desirable density and gradation.According to the present invention, an image pattern, at the maximum image density, is formed on a photosensitive drum and read by a detection unit that incorporates an LED and a photosensor. Based on the read-out data, an image forming condition is corrected so that a maximum density is slightly higher than a target maximum density. Further, an image pattern that shows density gradations is formed on the photosensitive drum, and is read by the detection unit. Based on the read-out data, the image forming condition is corrected so that the gradation characteristic is stable. With these corrections, even if the density characteristic and the gradation characteristic of the photosensitive drum are changed, the initial preferable state of the output density range can be maintained, and stable gradation characteristics for print effects that range from highlighting to shadowing is constantly ensured.
