摘要： A method for calibrating a multi-function printing (MFP) device includes printing a calibration target image on a first side of a print medium from at least one print medium source with a printing device of the MFP device. The calibration target image includes at least one fiducial. The method includes scanning the first side of the print medium comprising the calibration target image with a scanning device of the MFP device to create a first scanned image, identifying at least one edge of the print medium via a background pattern to determine a number of scan measurements, identifying at least one position of the at least one fiducial within the calibration target image, and calculating a calibration target error based on the at least one fiducial and the scan measurements.

摘要： Provided are image forming apparatuses, non-transitory recording media each storing a computer-readable program for obtaining paper information, and paper-information obtaining methods. An image forming apparatus includes at least one reflection-type optical sensor that measures a sheet in a sheet path, and at least one backing configured to change optical density of a backing face which is to be placed under a sheet in the sheet path for a measurement of the sheet with each of the at least one reflection-type optical sensor. A hardware processor in a system including the image forming apparatus, causes the at least one reflection-type optical sensor to take measurements of a sheet in the sheet path by using different optical densities of the backing face, and calculates paper weight, which is weight of paper per unit area, of the sheet on the basis of the result of the measurements.
