Abstract
Abstract An image processing parameter such as a masking coefficient is inputted by a key or bar code reader in accordance with a type of a recording medium. In a recording operation, color image data is processed in accordance with the input parameter and a color image is recorded on the recording medium based on the processed data. Thus, a high grade image is always formed without regard to the type of recording medium.
