Abstract
A control method in a printing apparatus includes printing, by a printing unit, an adjustment image for adjusting a printing position on a sheet, conveying, by a conveying unit, the sheet on which the adjustment image is printed, reading, by a reading unit, an image to generate image data, the reading unit being executable to perform reading by a first reading method for reading an image of a sheet without conveying the sheet or a second reading method for reading the image of the sheet while conveying the sheet, and determining, based on that a type of the sheet on which the adjustment image is to be printed is a specific type, to read the adjustment image by the first reading method.
Claims12
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a platen on which a document is to be placed;
- a tray on which a document is to be placed;
- a document feeder configured to feed the document from the tray;
- a reader configured to read the document placed on the platen, and configured to read the document fed from the tray by the document feeder;
- an image former configured to form an image based on an image forming condition;
- a display;
- a controller configured to:
- obtain information relating to a type of a sheet on which a test image is to be formed;
- control the display based on the information;
- control the image former to form the test image on the sheet based on the information;
- control the reader to read the test image formed on the sheet placed on the platen;
- control the document feeder and the reader to read the test image formed on the sheet while conveying the sheet on the tray;
- and
- generate the image forming condition based on a reading result related to the test image output from the reader,
- wherein in a case where the test image is formed on a sheet of a first type, the controller controls the display to display a first screen for prompting a user to place the sheet on which the test image is formed on the platen, and
- wherein in a case where the test image is formed on a sheet of a second type different from the first type, the controller controls the display to display a second screen for prompting a user to place the sheet on which the test image is formed on the tray.
