Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a calculation unit, and an image processing unit. The first storage unit stores an input parameter provided from an external device. The second storage unit is a read only storage unit in which software is written. The calculation unit calculates a first image processing parameter based on the input parameter using the software. The image processing unit processes an image based on the first image processing parameter.

Abstract: An original determination unit determines a color mode of an original based on image data input from a scanner processing unit. A CPU reads determined information on a color mode determined at the original determination unit, and sets register data into an image processing unit based on the determined information, and further outputs a signal for switching an operation mode to a printer unit based on the determined information. The image processing unit carries out image processing on image data based on the set register data. The printer unit switches a printing operation corresponding to a signal for switching an operation mode, and carries out printing based on the image data on which the image processing has been applied at the image processing unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a reading unit for reading a document and converting the document into image data, a document-type determining unit for distinguishing between a general document and a special document based on the image data, a read-processing unit for performing read processing on the general document and on the special document, an image-processing unit for performing image processing on the general document and on the special document, and a control unit. When the distinguished document is the special document, the control unit sets the read-processing unit to a special read-processing mode and sets the image-processing unit to a special image-processing mode. When the distinguished document is the general document, the control unit sets the read-processing unit to a normal read-processing mode and sets the image-processing unit to a normal image-processing mode.
