Image processing apparatus changing an operating mode to an adjustment mode and control program causing the same

An image processing apparatus that has an interface section for connecting a measuring instrument and is capable of changing an operating mode to an adjustment mode in which an adjustment is carried out by using the results of measurements by the measuring instrument, the image processing apparatus comprising:

• a control section detecting whether the measuring instrument is connected to the interface section, and when the measuring instrument is detected, changing the operating mode to the adjustment mode,
• wherein the control section monitors an elapsed time after carrying out a last adjustment, and when a prescribed time has not elapsed at the time of detecting the connection with the measuring instrument, restricts changing to said adjustment mode.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a control program which causes a computer of an image processing apparatus that has an interface section for connecting a measuring instrument and is capable of changing an operating mode to an adjustment mode in which adjustment is carried out by using the results of measurements by the measuring instrument,

• to detect whether the measuring instrument is connected to the interface section, and change the operating mode to the adjustment mode,
• wherein the control program executes the computer to judge whether there is a processing under execution at the time of detecting the connection with the measuring instrument, changes the operating mode to the adjustment mode after the execution of the processing under execution is completed when the processing under execution is a particular processing that is determined in advance, and halts the operating mode under execution to change the operating mode to the adjustment mode when the processing under execution is not the particular process that is determined in advance.
