Abstract:
An image forming apparatus outputs a tone chart for calibration by a printer, reads the output tone chart by a scanner, determines whether data on a sheet is affected by a surface shape of the sheet based on the read tone chart, corrects data on a white area of the read chart based on a result of the determination, and executes calibration using the corrected data.
