Abstract
In printing of a print job to be inspected using a pre-printed sheet having information printed thereon in advance, control is performed so as not to register a reference image based on image data that is received.
Claims13
An inspection system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one memory storing executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the inspection system to:
- receive a print job including a sheet attribute and image data, the sheet attribute indicating whether a sheet is a pre-printed sheet on which information has been printed before printing in accordance with the print job is performed;
- register a reference image based on the received image data in a case where the sheet attribute does not indicate the pre-printed sheet;
- and
- determine whether an image that is printed on the sheet in accordance with the print job and that is read is normal based on the registered reference image,
- wherein, if the sheet attribute indicates the pre-printed sheet, control is performed so as not to register the reference image based on the received image data.

A method of controlling an inspection system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a printing apparatus, a print job including a sheet attribute and image data, the sheet attribute indicating whether a sheet is a pre-printed sheet on which information has been printed before printing in accordance with the print job is performed;
- registering, by an inspection apparatus, a reference image based on the received image data in a case where the sheet attribute does not indicate the pre-printed sheet;
- and
- determining, by the inspection apparatus, whether an image that is printed on the sheet in accordance with the print job and that is read is normal based on the registered reference image,
- wherein, if the sheet attribute indicates the pre-printed sheet, control is performed so as not to register the reference image based on the received image data.

A printing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one memory storing executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the printing apparatus to:
- receive a print job including a sheet attribute and image data, the sheet attribute indicating whether a sheet is a pre-printed sheet on which information has been printed before printing in accordance with the print job is performed;
- and
- if the sheet attribute does not indicate the pre-printed sheet, transmit a reference image to an inspection apparatus based on the received image data,
- wherein, if the sheet attribute indicates the pre-printed sheet, control is performed so as not to transmit the reference image based on the received image data to the inspection apparatus.

An inspection apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one memory storing executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the inspection apparatus to:
- receive image data from a printing apparatus, wherein the image data is included in a print job including a sheet attribute indicating whether a sheet is a pre-printed sheet on which information has been printed before printing in accordance with the print job is performed;
- register a reference image based on the received image data in a case where the sheet attribute does not indicate the pre-printed sheet;
- and
- determine whether an image that is printed on the sheet in accordance with the print job and that is read is normal based on the registered reference image,
- wherein, if the sheet attribute indicates the pre-printed sheet, control is performed so as not to register the reference image based on the received image data.
