Device, method, and recording medium for controlling image forming apparatus

摘要

In the case where a request for printing is mage during execution of a continuous calibration, it is possible to interrupt a job without impairing the quality of printing by performing printing after executing an effective calibration in accordance with the kind of job, however, there is no mechanism to cancel each calibration in the standby state, and in order to make cancellation, it is necessary to wait until execution of each calibration is started, and therefore, the printing chances are lessened. There is provided a mechanism to display kinds of jobs in which printing is recommended at the point of time of end of each calibration and to enable cancellation of the calibration function of calibrations other than effective calibration after the effective calibration is executed.

1. A device for controlling an image forming apparatus having a function to execute a first calibration and a second calibration different from the first calibration, the device comprising:
an execution instruction unit configured to give instructions to continuously execute the first calibration and the second calibration; and an abort instruction unit configured to give instructions, after the execution instruction unit has given instructions for continuous execution of the first calibration and the second calibration, to abort execution of the second calibration which is yet to be executed in response to the instructions for continuous execution given by the execution instruction unit during execution of the first calibration, wherein, the first calibration is a single color calibration to correct a single color, the second calibration is a multi-color calibration to correct a multi-color, the single color calibration, which is the first calibration, further includes a calibration for low line number to correct an output characteristic in a case where an image with a low number of lines is output, and the abort instruction unit is further configured to give instructions to abort execution of the first calibration in a case where the abort instruction unit gives instructions to abort execution of the calibration for low line number, and the abort instruction unit also gives instructions to abort execution of the multi-color calibration, which is the second calibration, wherein a processor and a memory implement at least one of the execution instruction unit and the abort instruction unit.
