<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To calibrate any printer with high precision irrelevantly to its difference in use frequency in an image processing system constituted by connecting a plurality of printers including a printer which does not have a density measuring instrument like a scanner. <P>SOLUTION: It is determined whether an SCAL table is present in a density correction table in a printer (S902). When the SCAL table is not present, current drum life detection information is acquired from a drum life detection part (S903); and a color LBP102 holding a drum life table corresponding to a range based upon the information is searched for (S904). Then a drum life table is obtained from the searched drum life table holding printer (S905). Consequently, even a printer equipped with no scanner uses the drum life table of another printer whose use frequency corresponding to the drum life detection information is close to that of the printer as a reference SCAL table to improve the precision of calibration in the printer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
