20090073516 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A scanner reads an image of a document, the image of the document read by the scanner is stored in a memory, and a color determining section determines whether the document read by the scanner is color or monochrome. When the color determining section determines that the image of the document is color, image data stored in the memory is converted into color image data configured by multi-valued pixels by a multi-value processing section. On the other hand, when the color determining section determines that the image of the document is monochrome, the image data stored in the memory is converted into monochrome image data configured by binary pixels by a binary value processing section. A printer forms the image data processed by one between the multi-value processing section and the binary value processing section on a paper sheet. | 03-19-2009 |

20110216334 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing device includes a memory and a controller. The memory stores a first profile and a second profile. The first profile represents a correspondence relationship between RGB value of image data and color space data of an image printed on a sheet in correspondence with the image data. The second profile represents a correspondence relationship between the RGB value of the image data that is input to a display unit, and the color space data of the image displayed on the display unit. The controller specifies the color space data corresponding to the RGB value of the image data to be printed with the aid of the first profile, specifies the RGB value corresponding to the color space data specified by the first profile with the aid of the second profile, and uses the RGB value specified by the second profile as display data of the display unit. | 09-08-2011 |
