1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a receiving unit that receives a colorimetry result obtained by performing colorimetry on a gradation characteristic measurement sheet;a gradation correction data generation unit that generates gradation correction data for gradation correction processing in response to the colorimetric result; anda gradation correction unit that corrects output image data to be output by an image output unit in response to the gradation correction data;wherein the gradation correction data generation unit does not generate the gradation correction data if an output time information embedded in an identification information included in the colorimetric result is different from a latest output time information embedded in an identification information of a gradation characteristic measurement sheet output by the image output unit. 2. An image forming apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a combination unit that combines first region data representing the identification information and second region data representing the gradation characteristic;an image output unit that outputs at least one of a gradation characteristic measurement sheet for performing colorimetry in response to the image data combined by the combination unit and a sheet on which the output image data is formed. 3. An image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the gradation correction data generation unit stores a paper feeding tray information, to which the gradation correction data is applied, with the gradation correction data in a storage unit, based on paper feeding tray information embedded in the identification information included in the colorimetric result. 4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one region used for increasing the accuracy of the identification information includes a check sum, and the check sum is determined based on a number of reference colors used in color values of measurement regions and color values of at least a portion of identification information measurement regions. 5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the check sum is determined by integrating the color values and dividing the integrated value by the number of reference colors. 6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the at least one region used for increasing the accuracy of the identification information includes a delimiter. 7. A gradation characteristic measuring method performed on an image forming apparatus, the method comprising: receiving a colorimetry result obtained by performing colorimetry on a gradation characteristic measurement sheet;generating gradation correction data for gradation correction processing in response to the colorimetric result;storing the gradation correction data in a non-transitory storing unit; andcorrecting output image data to be output by an image forming apparatus having an output unit outputs at least one of a gradation measurement sheet for performing colorimetry in response to the gradation correction data stored in the storing unit and a sheet on which the output image data is formed;wherein the gradation correction data is not generated if network address information embedded in an identification information included in the colorimetric result is different from a network address information of the image forming apparatus. 8. The gradation characteristic measuring method according to claim 7, wherein at least one region used for increasing the accuracy of the identification information includes a check sum, and the check sum is determined based on a number of reference colors used in color values of measurement regions and color values of at least a portion of identification information measurement regions. 9. The gradation characteristic measuring method according to claim 8, wherein the check sum is determined by integrating the color values and dividing the integrated value by the number of reference colors. 10. The gradation characteristic measuring method according to claim 8, wherein the at least one region used for increasing the accuracy of the identification information includes a delimiter.
