Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first reading unit configured to read a first image on a first surface of a document, a second reading unit configured to read a second image on a second surface of the document different from the first surface, a printing unit configured to print a third image on a sheet, and a setting unit configured to set resolution of the third image printed by the printing unit. The printing unit prints the third image on the sheet with the resolution set by the setting unit. The printing unit also prints a fourth image with resolution lower than or equal to a threshold, without using the set resolution, the fourth image used for correction of at least a color value obtained by reading the second image using the second reading unit.
Claims18
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a scanning unit configured to scan one or more images on a document;
- a printing unit configured to execute a printing process;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set resolution that is received from a user and that is to be used in the printing process executed by the printing unit,
- wherein the printing unit executes, using the set resolution lower than or equal to a threshold, the printing process for a predetermined image for adjusting a color value to be obtained by a scan of the document by the scanning unit,
- wherein the printing unit executes, using resolution lower than or equal to the threshold and not using the set second resolution higher than the threshold, the printing process for the predetermined image, and
- wherein the printing unit executes, using the set resolution, the printing process for an image different from the predetermined image even if the set resolution is higher than the threshold.
A method of controlling an image forming apparatus that includes a scanning unit configured to scan one or more images on a document, and a printing unit configured to execute a printing process, the method comprising:
- setting resolution,
- that is received from a user and that is to be used in the printing process executed by the printing unit,
- wherein the printing unit executes, using the set resolution lower than or equal to a threshold, the printing process for a predetermined image for adjusting a color value to be obtained by a scan of the document by the scanning unit,
- wherein the printing unit executes, using resolution lower than or equal to the threshold and not using the set resolution higher than the threshold, the printing process for the predetermined image, and
- wherein the printing unit executes, using the set resolution, the printing process for an image different from the predetermined image even if the set resolution is higher than the threshold.
