<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that corrects read unevenness without preparing a reference sample. <P>SOLUTION: In a printer 1, an image processor 14 generates image data for obtaining an output image for scanner in-surface unevenness correction, and forms the image (S1). A color sensor 3000 detects the image for scanner in-surface unevenness correction transferred to and fixed on a transfer material (S2), and an image signal value and position information thereof are stored (S3). The transfer material where the image for scanner in-surface unevenness correction is formed is placed on a platen glass 202 while directed in a conveyance direction, and read (S5). A read image signal value and position information thereof are stored in a storage device 58 (S6). The image for scanner in-surface unevenness correction is rotated by 90° and placed, and similarly read, and a read image signal value and position information thereof are stored in the storage device 58. Those pieces of image information are read out (S9), and image signal correction parameters are calculated from the image information and set (S10). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
