An information processing device includes a retaining unit and an image display. The retaining unit retains image-formation-related information of an image forming apparatus that forms an image. The image display causes a display section of a portable terminal having the display section and an image capturing section to display an image for assisting with an operation of the image forming apparatus based on a captured image result of the image capturing section and the image-formation-related information retained in the retaining unit.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INSPECTING IMAGES ON PRINT PRODUCTS USING AN IMAGE INSPECTION ROBOT
20190385293 · 2019-12-19 ·

A method for inspecting images on print products in a printing material processing machine includes recording and digitizing produced print products using at least one image sensor in an image inspection process of a print job using an image inspection system. The recorded digital prints that have been created are compared to a digital reference image by using a computer and, if deviations are found between the recorded digital prints and the digital reference image, print products found to be defective are removed. The image sensor records the produced print products from at least two different viewing angles and/or viewing distances and the computer evaluates the at least two recorded digital prints as a function of the at least two viewing angles and/or viewing distances and assesses them in terms of deviations. A device for inspecting images on print products is also provided.
