摘要： The type of printing medium on which an image will be formed is discriminated based upon the image of the medium surface read by an image reading unit for reading the surface as an image. If the discriminated medium type is other than a prescribed printing medium, the image is formed without changing an image formation parameter. When the type of printing medium and the state of the surface are discriminated, image formation can be performed in the most stable image forming mode if an abnormality occurs.

摘要： To provide a recording-material type determination apparatus and recording-material type determination method which can determine the type of recording material using simple calculations as well as to provide an image forming apparatus capable of obtaining stable image quality independent of the type of recording material using the apparatus and method.Based on data read by a read unit which reads surface images of recording material, a first calculation unit calculates the depth of irregularities in the surface of recording material and stores the results of calculation in a register A while a second calculation unit calculates the spacing of irregularities on the surface of the recording material and stores the results of calculation in a register B. Based on the values in the registers A and B, the type of recording material such as gloss paper, plain paper, rough paper or OHT is determined.
