A color copy machine having a reading portion and a printing portion outputs a chart for color correction. A result of reading by the reading portion of the same machine of patch for each output color of the chart, is converted into color component data for a pixel. The color component data are summed for a number of pixels of the patches. Data is derived by dividing the sum by a number of pixels. With this data, content of a production color table used in the binarization process is updated. By this, the image to be printed by the printing portion on a basis of a result of reading of the reading portion, matches with the result of reading. As a result, the color of the original image can be reproduced with high fidelity.

Image forming system with capability for color correction

In a recording apparatus with plural sheet cassettes of different sizes, a cassette selecting method consists of calculating cassette information for each cassette based on the length and width of the image to be recorded, comparing the cassette information for the different cassettes and selecting an optimum cassette according to the comparison. The cassette information becomes larger in magnitude as the priority for selection becomes higher, represent various image forming modes.

Facsimile apparatus

A facsimile apparatus receives and stores image data, receives a sub-address signal, and processes the stored image data using pre-stored processing corresponding to the received sub-address signal.
