Abstract:
An image forming apparatus, includes: a conversion unit configured to convert image data based on a conversion condition corresponding to a halftone process type; an image processing unit configured to perform a halftone process to the image data; and a controller configured to control an image forming unit to form a predetermined measurement image on an image carrier, to control the measurement unit to measure the predetermined measurement image, and to generate a predetermined conversion condition corresponding to a predetermined halftone process type based on a measurement result. In a case where the predetermined halftone process type is not performed by the image processing unit from when the predetermined measurement image is formed last time, the controller skips formation of the predetermined measurement image by the image forming unit.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a conversion unit configured to convert image data based on a conversion condition corresponding to a halftone process type; an image processing unit configured to perform a halftone process to the image data converted by the conversion unit; an image forming unit configured to form an image on an image carrier based on the image data resulting from the halftone process; a transfer member at which the image is transferred from the image carrier onto a sheet; a measurement unit configured to measure a measurement image on the image carrier; and a controller configured to control the image forming unit to form a predetermined measurement image between a first image and a second image on the image carrier every time a plurality of images including the first image and the second image is formed by the image forming unit, to control the measurement unit to measure the predetermined measurement image, and to generate a predetermined conversion condition corresponding to a predetermined halftone process type based on a measurement result of the measurement unit, wherein the first image is to be transferred onto a first sheet, wherein the second image is to be transferred onto a second sheet, wherein the second sheet is next to the first sheet, wherein, in a case where the predetermined halftone process type is not performed by the image processing unit from when the predetermined measurement image is formed last time, the controller skips formation of the predetermined measurement image by the image forming unit.
