Abstract
According to an aspect of the invention, an image processing device includes a storage that stores character information, which is information affecting legibility of a character, on a character-by-character basis, and circuitry configured to determine a toner saving ratio for each character contained in a to-be-printed image so that legibility of the character achieves a preset target value at the determined toner saving ratio by assessing the legibility of the character based on the character information.
Claims9
An image processing device comprising:
- a storage that stores therein character information on a character-by-character basis, the character information being information affecting legibility of a character;
- and
- circuitry configured to determine a toner saving ratio for each character contained in a to-be-printed image so that legibility of the character achieves a preset target value at the determined toner saving ratio by assessing the legibility of the character based on the character information.
An image processing method for an image processing device including a storage storing character information on a character-by-character basis, the character information being information affecting legibility of a character, the image processing method comprising
- determining a toner saving ratio for each character contained in a to-be-printed image so that legibility of the character achieves a preset target value at the determined toner saving ratio by assessing the legibility of the character based on the character information.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium containing program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device including a storage storing character information on a character-by-character basis, the character information being information affecting legibility of a character, cause the computing device to execute:
- determining a toner saving ratio for each character contained in a to-be-printed image so that legibility of the character achieves a preset target value at the determined toner saving ratio by assessing the legibility of the character based on the character information.
