1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a support application program executable by a computer included an information processing device in which a general-purpose print program is installed in advance in an operating system and that is available for printing using a printer connected to the information processing device, the support application program causing the computer to execute:
acquisition processing of acquiring characteristic data with respect to print quality indicative of a printer-specific characteristic from the printer, the characteristic data being a printer-specific value and being not available for a print data generation processing by the general-purpose print program; and
storing processing of storing the characteristic data acquired in the acquisition processing in the storage medium included in the information processing device,
wherein, in a case where a print instruction that causes the printer to execute printing of an image is sent to the general-purpose print program installed in advance in the operating system of the information processing device, the support application program causes the computer to further execute:
corrected print data generation processing of generating corrected print data by correcting the image that is a print target of the print instruction based on the characteristic data acquired in the acquisition processing and stored in the storage medium in the storing processing; and
output processing of outputting the corrected print data generated in the corrected print data generation processing such that the corrected print data is transmitted from the information processing device to the printer as a transmission destination.
