Abstract:
Provided are a printer, a non-transitory recording medium and a scanner profile correction method. A hardware processor chooses at least one color for each of sheets where images of a job are separately to be printed, successively from colors of a chart for a scanner profile creation. The hardware processor defines an arrangement of at least one patch of the at least one color in a blank space of each of the sheets, and instructs a print engine to print the at least one patch together with an image of the job on each of the sheets. In response to obtaining measured color values of the at least one patch printed on each sheet from an in-line scanner and an in-line spectrocolorimeter, the hardware processor updates a part of data of a scanner profile, corresponding to the at least one color, by using the obtained measured color values.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of correcting a scanner profile in a system including\n a print engine configured to print images of a job to be reproduced on respective sheets, an in-line scanner configured to measure a printed sheet to obtain a scanner value which is a color value taken by a measurement with the in-line scanner, and an in-line spectrocolorimeter configured to measure a printed sheet to obtain a colorimeter value which is a color value taken by a measurement with the in-line spectrocolorimeter, the method comprising:\n controlling a patch arrangement for each of sheets where images of a job are separately to be printed by the print engine, including\n choosing at least one color for each of the sheets successively from colors of a chart to be used for creating a scanner profile in which scanner values and corresponding colorimeter values are associated with each other, \n defining an arrangement of at least one patch of the at least one color in a blank space of each of the sheets, and \n instructing the print engine to print the at least one patch together with an image of the job on each of the sheets; and \n \n in response to obtaining a scanner value or values taken by a measurement of the at least one patch printed on each of the sheets, from the in-line scanner and a colorimeter value or values taken by a measurement of the at least one patch printed on the each of the sheets, from the in-line spectrocolorimeter, updating a part of data of the scanner profile, corresponding to the at least one color of the at least one patch, by using the scanner value or values and the colorimeter value or values obtained from the in-line scanner and the in-line spectrocolorimeter.
