Abstract:
The edge pixel determining unit ( 21 ) determines edge pixels in an input image, and the property determining unit ( 23 ) determines an edge pixel of a ruled-line edge among the determined edge pixels. The output image processing unit ( 12 ) performs predetermined image processing for the edge pixels so as to make a toner consumption amount of the edge pixel of the ruled-line edge smaller than a toner consumption amount of an edge pixel other than the edge pixel of the ruled-line edge.

Claim (Index 3):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein if a predetermined number of edge pixels or more are continuous along a primary scanning direction, the property determining unit sets properties of the continuous edge pixels as ruled-line edge; if a predetermined number of edge pixels or more are continuous along a secondary scanning direction, the property determining unit sets properties of the continuous edge pixels as ruled-line edge; and the property determining unit sets a property of an edge pixel other than the edge pixels of the ruled-line edge as character edge.
