Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for measuring the optical density of an image printed on a medium in an image forming apparatus. The method includes the steps of reading reference information from a memory, measuring the amount of light reflected from a medium on which a target image is printed by applying light to the medium, and calculating the optical density of the target image using the reference information and the measured amount of light reflected from the medium. Accordingly, it is possible to precisely measure the optical density of an image printed on the medium without the aid of an additional optical density measurement device and easily reduce differences or variations in the quality of printing between image forming apparatuses.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-0016177 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on February 25, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring the optical density of an image printed on a medium in an image forming apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for measuring the optical density of an image printed on a medium by measuring the amount of light reflected from the medium and using the measured amount of light and an equation to calculate the optical density of the image printed on the medium Methods and Equipment. Background technique [0003] Generally, an image forming apparatus converts a document written by a user via an application program or an image photographed by the user into encoded data. Then, the image forming apparatu...
