Abstract
A method for adjusting a printing apparatus includes an analyzing stage of performing, by an image analysis apparatus, analysis on a pattern image generated by reading a test pattern by a scanner, and a setting value updating stage of updating a control setting value stored in a database, in which the printing apparatus is caused to print a test pattern including a pattern for ejecting ink from a plurality of nozzle rows to the same position in a main scanning direction, in the analyzing stage, a dot position misalignment amount occurring in each nozzle row is detected by image processing based on the pattern image, a dot position correction value corresponding to the dot position misalignment amount is calculated by calculation, and in the setting value updating stage, the database is caused to store the dot position correction value as at least a part of the control setting value.
