IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a working time for setting each input and output characteristic value in an image formation device provided with multiple input and output characteristic values. SOLUTION: An image data input section 40 that reads an original as image data is provided. A target value memory section 3 that stores a target value for an input and output characteristic value when a standard original 2 is read is provided. A comparison section 3 that generates a new input and output characteristic value, comparing image data of the standard original 2 with the target value is provided. A fixed value memory section 4a that stores as a fixed value a difference between an input and output characteristic values of an original and that of a copy is provided. An adding section 4 that adds the fixed value to the image data of the standard original 2 and outputs the result to a comparison section 3 is provided. Multiple input and output characteristic values can be set by reading only at a time the standard original 2 because the fixed value memory section 4a and the adding section 4 are provided.
