Abstract
Based on scanned data obtained by a scan unit reading a first chart printed and output by a printing unit and colorimetric data obtained by a colorimetry unit measuring the first chart, correction information for correcting a sensed value of the scan unit is generated. The first chart includes a patch extending in a main scanning direction substantially perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction and having a uniform density, and a position adjustment pattern formed outside the patch for identifying a position in the main scanning direction on the patch. A first generation unit generates the correction information by causing a pixel position of an end portion of the patch in the scanned data and a colorimetry position of an end portion of the patch in the colorimetric data to correspond to each other and determining a corrected value of the sensed value at a specific pixel position.
