Abstract:
With reference to a correction value revision parameter table, a periodic non-uniformity correction value corresponding to changed rotational speed is obtained from the correction value revision parameter table, and set as a new periodic non-uniformity correction value corresponding to the rotational speed of a rotary component, and thereby a gradation which is an image formation parameter of image data is corrected.
