Claim 4:
5. A control method of an image forming device, wherein
the image forming device includes
a scanner mechanism,
an inkjet-type print mechanism,
a display mechanism, and
a control unit configured to control the scanner mechanism, the print mechanism, and the display mechanism,
the control unit includes a pattern storage unit configured to store a temperature, a humidity, and an adjustment pattern group including a plurality of adjustment patterns, in association with each other, and
the control unit executes
an acquisition step of acquiring a measured temperature and a measured humidity from a temperature and humidity sensor; and
a data generation step of reading an adjustment pattern group corresponding to the measured temperature and the measured humidity acquired in the acquisition step from the pattern storage unit, and generating print data including the read adjustment pattern group;
a print control step of printing, by the print mechanism, the print data and generating an adjustment sheet on which an image corresponding to the print data is printed on a print medium;
an image generation step of reading, by the scanner mechanism, the adjustment pattern group formed on the adjustment sheet and generating an image group corresponding to the adjustment pattern group; and
an adjustment step of adjusting, based on the image group, an ink dispensing amount for each of a plurality of nozzles constituting the print mechanism.
