Title:
Image processing device
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6012325
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus capable of printing image data including a color code symbol without damaging information held in the code symbol even in an environment where only monochrome printing is possible due to print settings or the capability of an apparatus. A code symbol is extracted from input image data, and code symbol information is acquired from the extracted code symbol. It is determined whether or not an image to be output by performing image processing on the input image data is a monochrome image. When it is determined that the image to be output is a monochrome image, a monochrome code symbol is generated based on the acquired code symbol information. The generated monochrome code symbol and the image to be output are synthesized, and the synthesized image is output.
