Abstract
A smoothing circuit smoothes lookup tables generated by a color conversion table generator, using a filter function selected from a filter function storage circuit, and supplies smoothed lookup tables to a color processing circuit. Density data supplied from a calibration circuit are converted into halftone dot % data according to the smoothed lookup tables. The halftone dot % data are interpolated and then converted into LD control data, which are supplied to laser diodes.
