Abstract
A copying apparatus with a color copy function includes: a reading unit configured to read images on a document; an input unit configured to input commands from a user; an image forming unit configured to form a mark for image adjustment, perform an image adjustment on the image read by the reading unit based on the formed mark for image adjustment and print the adjusted image; and a judging unit configured to trigger the image forming unit to form the mark for image adjustment if the command for executing color copying is input into the input unit.
Claims14
A copying apparatus with a color copy function comprising:
- a reading unit configured to read an image on a document;
- an input unit configured to input commands from a user;
- an image forming unit configured to form an image;
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the copying apparatus to:
- if a command related to color copying is input into the input unit, trigger the image forming unit to form a mark for image adjustment and perform color copying setting according to the input command related to the color copying before a command for starting color copying is input into the input unit;
- and
- if the command for starting color copying is input into the input unit, control the reading unit to read the image on the document, perform the image adjustment on the image read by the reading unit based on the mark formed by the image forming unit and control the image forming unit to form the adjusted image.
A copying apparatus with a color copy function comprising:
- a reading unit configured to read an image on a document;
- an input unit configured to input commands from a user;
- an image forming unit configured to form a mark for image adjustment, perform an image adjustment on the image read by the reading unit based on the formed mark for image adjustment and print the adjusted image;
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing computer readable instructions, when executed by the processing, causing the copying apparatus to:
- trigger the image forming unit to form the mark for image adjustment if the command for executing color copying is input into the input unit;
- and
- control the image forming unit to interrupt formation of the mark if a mark formation progress is not more than a prescribed value if a command for starting color copying is input into the input unit.
A copying apparatus with a color copy function comprising:

- an input unit configured to input commands from a user;
- an image forming unit configured to form an image;
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the copying apparatus to:
- if a command for starting color copying is input into the input unit, control the reading unit to read the image on the document, and control the image forming unit to form a mark for image adjustment so that the image forming unit forms the mark during a time the reading unit reads the image on the document;
- perform the image adjustment on the image read by the reading unit;
- and
- control the image forming unit to form the adjusted image.
