Abstract

Abstract In a color image forming device including a modification executing section 12, a recording medium indicating section 14, an optimized data section 16, and an optical system 18, the modification executing section 12 modifies the color image data into the optimized data to be stored in the optimized data section 16, in response to indication of a type of a recording medium from the recording medium indicating section 14. The optical system 18 carries out exposure in response to the data from the optimized data section 16. Thus, an image having a uniform quality is formed in color image formation on various types of recording media.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 102 words
A color image forming device characterized by: modification executing means (12) for modifying color image data in response to an indication of the type of a recording medium on which a color image is to be formed; recording medium indicating means (14) for supplying said indication of the type of said recording medium to said modification executing means (12); optimized data storing means (16) for storing said image data, as optimized data, after modified by said modification executing means (12); and optical means (18) for carrying out exposure in accordance with said optimized data supplied from said optimized data storing means (16).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 52 words
A color image forming device as claimed in Claim 1, characterized in that said color image forming device further comprises recording medium designation input means (40) and that said recording medium indicating means (14) receives an input of the type of said recording medium from said recording medium designation input means (40).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
A color image forming device as claimed in Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said color image forming device further comprises recording medium type detecting means (50) and that said recording medium indicating means (14) receives an input of the type of said recording medium from said recording medium type detecting means (50).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
A device as claimed in Claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said modification executing means (12) carries out modification of a γ curve.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 34 words
A device as claimed in any one of Claims 1 to 4, characterized in that said modification executing means (12) carries out modification of an exposure level upon exposure by said optical means (18).
Claim 6
Independent Claim 35 words
A device as claimed in any one of Claims 1 to 5, characterized in that said modification executing means (12) carries out modification of a dot exposure position upon exposure by said optical means (18).
Claim 7
Independent Claim 34 words
A device as claimed in any one of Claims 1 to 6, characterized in that said modification executing means (12) carries out modification of an exposure time upon exposure by said optical means (18).
Claim 8
Independent Claim 29 words
A device as claimed in any one of Claims 1 to 7, characterized in that said modification executing means (12) carries out modification of a color space coordinate position.
