A printing apparatus in which it is possible to set proper correction data by eliminating an erroneous operation of an operator is constructed. A code indicating the type of used printing paper P is formed on a test chart TC. When the correction data is generated, a printing paper type specifying section 25B of correction data generating means 25 judges whether the printing paper is proper or not based on the code, by setting the test chart TC on a flatbed scanner 5 and performing pre-scan on it. If it is the test chart TC using proper printing paper, then the density data in a plurality of pixel lines constituting the chart is acquired and the correction data is generated by performing the main scan, and the correction data is stored in a correction table 35 in association with the type of the printing paper.
