Estimating the term…
An image processing apparatus for an image forming apparatus including a line head array that forms an image by illuminating one or more illumination elements in correspondence with image data. The image processing apparatus includes a detection part configured to detect a linear image extending in a sub-scanning direction in the image data, and an adjustment part configured to adjust a density of the linear image so that the energy used in illuminating the one or more illumination elements for forming the linear image is reduced compared to the energy used in forming the linear image without adjusting the density of the linear image.
An image processing apparatus for an image forming apparatus including a line head array that forms an image by illuminating one or more illumination elements in correspondence with image data, the image processing apparatus comprising
The image processing apparatus as claimed in claimed 1, wherein the adjustment part is configured to reduce a time of illuminating the one or more illumination elements.
An image processing method for an image forming apparatus including a line head array that forms an image by illuminating one or more illumination elements in correspondence with image data, the image processing method comprising the steps of:
A computer-readable recording medium on which a program is recorded for causing a computer to perform an image processing method for an image forming apparatus including a line head array that forms an image by illuminating one or more illumination elements in correspondence with image data, the image processing method comprising the steps of:
