<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for making the gray level characteristics of a plurality of image forming apparatuses approximate to reference gray level characteristics, and also to provide an image forming system, method, and program, and a recording medium. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming system 1 employs a specific image embedding the individual model information and gray level characteristics recorded on a sheet by a selected reference multifunction device MF1-MFn or printer Pr1-Prm on a network NW, and a gray level information image including the patch of a plurality of gray scales of each color as a reference gray level information image, and employs the gray level calculated from the reading result of the patch as a reference gray level. Based on a gray level calculated from the reading result of patch of the multifunction devices MF1-MFn other than the reference multifunction device, gray level characteristics for making the gray level characteristics recovered from a specific image of the gray level information image from the multifunction devices MF1-MFn other than the reference multifunction device approximate to reference gray level characteristics recovered from the reading result of the specific image of the reference gray level information image is calculated, and the gray level characteristics of other multifunction devices MF1-MFn are altered to the approximate gray level characteristics. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
