Claim:
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a printer configured to form an image on a recording medium based on image data; a memory configured to store a first converting condition corresponding to a specific recording medium; and a controller having a processor configured to perform tasks including: a correcting task that corrects image data based on a correcting condition for forming an output image by the printer; an obtaining task that obtains read data by a reading unit reading a measurement image formed on the recording medium by the printer; a converting task that converts the read data into density data using a converting condition corresponding to the recording medium; a first generating task that generates the correcting condition based on the density data; a printing task that, in a registering operation for registering another recording medium to be used for generating the correcting condition, controls the printer to form a first patch image on the specific recording medium and a second patch image on the other recording medium; and a second generating task that generates a second converting condition corresponding to the other recording medium using first read data obtained by the reading unit reading the first patch image formed on the specific recording medium, second read data obtained by the reading unit reading the second patch image formed on the other recording medium, and the first converting condition stored in the memory.
