An image-processing device includes an image-reading unit that reads image data
from a document optically, an image-recording unit that records the image data
read onto recording paper, a first-density-correction unit that corrects first
density characteristics that depend on the image-reading unit, a second-density-correction
unit that corrects second characteristics to reproduce density of the document,
a third-density-correction unit that corrects third density characteristics that
depend on the image-recording unit, and a control unit that independently controls
each of the first, second and third density-correction units to execute density correction.
The image-processing device can record a high-quality image by adjusting the
above described density characteristics by controlling each of the first, second
and third density-correction units independently.
