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.
