Abstract
An image forming apparatus capable of setting optimal print options for test prints of a primitive image and a method thereof. The image forming apparatus includes an image data processing part to create a plurality of test images by converting a primitive image according to a plurality of predetermined sets of print options, an image print part to print the plurality of test images created by the image processing part, a key input part to select one of the plurality of the printed test images, and a control part to set the print options of the selected test image using the key input part print options of the primitive image. Accordingly, the user need not separately set print options for more than one test print performed by more than one print job, since the optimal print options of the primitive image are set by comparing and selecting the test images pre-printed according to the different sets of print options.
