An image inspection apparatus includes: a reader configured to read management information formed on a sheet; and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to determine, by using a collation information management table that stores page numbers and collation information for the respective page numbers of sheets, whether the management information matches the collation information. The hardware processor is configured to set a start page number from which the determination is started. The hardware processor starts the determination from the start page number.

An information processing apparatus inspecting printed contents of a printed sheet, the information processing apparatus includes a recognition unit configured to recognize the printed contents printed on the sheet, an acquisition unit configured to acquire an attribute value from information recognized by the recognition unit, a specification unit configured to specify a time required for inspection of the printed contents of the sheet by using the attribute value acquired by the acquisition unit, and a notification unit configured to issue a notification to a user based on a result of comparison between the required time specified by the specification unit and a time limit for inspection of the printed contents.

An inspection result displaying system acquires a scanned image of a page, which is an inspection target, from among a plurality of pages included in a printed material and acquires a dummy page corresponding to a page, which is not an inspection target, from among the plurality of pages of the printed material. The system displays the scanned image when displaying an inspection result of the page which is an inspection target and displays the dummy page when displaying an inspection result of the page which is not an inspection target.

An image diagnosis system is configured to: scan paper before an image for image diagnosis is formed by an image forming apparatus; scan the paper after the image is formed by the image forming apparatus; and perform the image diagnosis by classifying at least one of a fault due to the paper, a fault due to the scanning, or a fault due to the image formation from the other fault, based on a scan image of the paper before the image is formed and a scan image of the paper after the image is formed.

Provided is an inspection apparatus that includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor acquires pre-printing base information of a recording medium before printing and post-printing base information of the recording medium after the printing, and determines based on the pre-printing base information and the post-printing base information whether there is an abnormality in the recording media after the printing.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a read image resulting from reading a recording medium where a diagnostic image to be used to diagnose an image forming apparatus is formed; acquire, from the read image, an image read portion of the recording medium from which the diagnostic image is read and one specific portion of a non-formation read portion, the non-formation read portion resulting from reading a non-formation portion of the recording medium where the diagnostic image is not formed; and output the image read portion and the one specific portion.

An inspection device includes: a holder that holds an inspection medium that is a medium on which an image is formed; an image sensor that reads the image on the inspection medium; and a controller that inspects the inspection medium by comparing, with a reference image, an inspection image obtained by performing image processing on a read image read by the image sensor. The holder has a non-plane surface as a holding surface, and the controller changes one or both of the inspection image and the reference image based on a transparency of the medium.

An image processing system includes a reader that reads an image surface of a flat cut sheet on which an image is formed; and a laminator that is arranged on the downstream side of the reader in a conveyance direction of the flat cut sheet and laminates an image surface of the flat cut sheet.

A paper type identification apparatus includes a passage configured to allow a sheet to be manually inserted thereinto, a reading sensor configured to read a surface of the sheet inserted into the passage and a controller configured to output a notification after reading a first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor. The notification is a notification to urge a user to read a second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet by the reading sensor, and determine a type of the sheet based on a reading result of the first surface by the reading sensor and a reading result of the second surface by the reading sensor.
