Abstract:
An image processing device for processing image data to send it to an image output device for outputting the image onto a recording medium through said image data, comprising:image input means for acquiring input image data so that its time series direction becomes a direction corresponding to a subscanning direction orthogonal to a main scanning direction, which is a direction in which pixels are temporally continuously formed on said recording medium of said image output device; p1 correction means for correcting the input image data from said image input means in accordance with a non-linear and asymmetric image output characteristic indicating a difference in characteristic between image portions in said subscanning direction; androtary processing means for rotationally processing the image data from said image correction means after the correction so that its time series direction becomes a direction corresponding to said main scanning direction of said image output device, and for sending the image data after the rotary processing to said image output device.
