Abstract

An information processing device includes a memory and a processor configured to instruct an image output unit to output a colorimetric pattern including plural test images, the image output unit being configured to output, onto a recording medium, an image based on image data processed by an image processing unit, and notify, based on a difference between a measured value obtained by measuring a color of each test image in the colorimetric pattern output by the image output unit and a target value determined according to characteristics of the recording medium used for outputting the image, whether resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit or be performed in relation to the image output unit.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a memory, and

a processor configured to

instruct an image output unit to output a colorimetric pattern including a plurality of test images, the image output unit being configured to output, onto a recording medium, an image based on image data processed by an image processing unit, and

notify, based on a difference between a measured value obtained by measuring a color of each test image in the colorimetric pattern output by the image output unit and a target value determined according to characteristics of the recording medium used for outputting the image, whether resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit or be performed in relation to the image output unit.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein,

when a difference between a measured density value of the test image with a single-color maximum density in the plurality of test images included in the colorimetric pattern and the target value is equal to or larger than a threshold, the processor notifies that the resetting is to be performed in relation to the image output unit.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein,

even when the difference between the measured density value of the test image with the single-color maximum density in the plurality of test images included in the colorimetric pattern and the target value is smaller than the threshold, in a case where a color difference between a colorimetric value of the test image with multiple colors in which amount of colorant used per unit area is equal to or larger than a predetermined value and a target value of the test image is equal to or larger than a preset value, the processor notifies that the resetting is to be performed in the image output unit.

4. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein,

even when the difference between the measured density value of the test image with the single-color maximum density in the plurality of test images included in the colorimetric pattern and the target value is smaller than the threshold, in a case where a color difference between a colorimetric value of the test image with multiple colors in which amount of colorant used per unit area is equal to or larger than a predetermined value and a target value of the test image is smaller than a preset value, the processor notifies that the resetting is to be performed in the image processing unit.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting is to be performed in relation to the image output unit, the processor notifies that a machine output condition set in relation to the image output unit is to be adjusted.

6. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting should be performed in relation to the image output unit, the processor notifies that a machine output condition set in relation to the image output unit is to be adjusted.

7. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting should be performed in relation to the image output unit, the processor notifies that a machine output condition set in relation to the image output unit is to be adjusted.

8. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting should be performed in relation to the image output unit, the processor notifies that a machine output condition set in relation to the image output unit is to be adjusted.

9. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

the machine output condition includes at least one of a transfer voltage condition for transferring a colorant image formed on an intermediate transfer member onto the recording medium, and a fixing temperature condition for fixing the colorant image formed on the recording medium.

10. The information processing device according to claim 6 , wherein

the machine output condition includes at least one of a transfer voltage condition for transferring a colorant image formed on an intermediate transfer member onto the recording medium, and a fixing temperature condition for fixing the colorant image formed on the recording medium.

11. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein

the machine output condition includes at least one of a transfer voltage condition for transferring a colorant image formed on an intermediate transfer member onto the recording medium, and a fixing temperature condition for fixing the colorant image formed on the recording medium.

12. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the machine output condition includes at least one of a transfer voltage condition for transferring a colorant image formed on an intermediate transfer member onto the recording medium, and a fixing temperature condition for fixing the colorant image formed on the recording medium.

13. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit, the processor notifies that a color conversion coefficient set in relation to the image processing unit is to be adjusted.

14. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit, the processor notifies that a color conversion coefficient set in relation to the image processing unit is to be adjusted.

15. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit, the processor notifies that a color conversion coefficient set in relation to the image processing unit is to be adjusted.

16. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein,

when notifying that the resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit, the processor notifies that a color conversion coefficient set in relation to the image processing unit is to be adjusted.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

instructing an image output unit to output a colorimetric pattern including a plurality of test images, the image output unit being configured to output, onto a recording medium, an image based on image data processed by an image processing unit, and

notifying, based on a difference between a measured value obtained by measuring a color of each test image in the colorimetric pattern output by the image output unit and a target value determined according to characteristics of the recording medium used for outputting the image, whether resetting is to be performed in relation to the image processing unit or be performed in relation to the image output unit.
