Abstract

An image recording apparatus that records a visible image on a recording medium by successively entering image signals forming an image. The apparatus comprises a standard pattern detector detecting standard patterns from the input image signals, image density measuring device measuring density of an output signal, image quality judging device judging image quality of every standard pattern output of the image density measuring device, and process controller deciding process parameters on the basis of signals output of the image quality judging device before controlling image quality of the output signal using the process parameters. The apparatus therefore can save the toner and paper and control for high image quality.
