First correction data for use in a first printing mode is generated by image density measurement in the first printing mode, and second correction data for use in a second printing mode, which is different from the first printing mode in peripheral speed ratio of a developing roller to a photosensitive drum, is generated by image density measurement in the second printing mode. First processing for generating first and second correction data for the first and second printing modes, respectively, by density measurement, or second processing for generating the first correction data by density measurement and generating the second correction data using the generated first correction data and a difference in image density between the first printing mode and the second printing mode is executed. The first processing is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

System and method for device gamification during job processing

A system and method for gamification of multifunction peripherals includes an intelligent controller having a processor and memory. A touchscreen user interface configured to receive a document processing instruction from an associated user. Electronic images of user fortunes are stored in memory. The processor monitors background tasks on the controller after receipt of a document processing instruction from the user and generates a user interactive graphical image of a tangible object on the touch screen. When a user touches the image on the touch screen, it then displays a user fortune image of a fortune.
