Abstract
An image processing device includes a data acquisition unit, an instruction receiving unit, an image conversion pattern storage unit, and an image processing unit. The image conversion pattern storage unit stores a plurality of image conversion patterns having different dot thinning ratios and scaling ratios corresponding to the respective image conversion patterns, in which the image conversion patterns having smaller dot thinning ratios are mapped to greater scaling ratios. The image processing unit reads the image conversion pattern mapped to the scaling ratio designated for the n-up printing out of the image conversion pattern storage unit when the instructions to carry out the n-up printing and the toner-saving printing are received by the instruction receiving unit, and performs image processing on the image data acquired by the data acquisition unit using the image conversion pattern.
