Abstract
An inspection apparatus includes a display control unit configured to display information on a display unit, a setting unit configured to set one or more areas including an object to be inspected, and an inspection unit configured to inspect data read from the object included in the one or more areas set by the setting unit. The display control unit displays a graphic to enable recognition of an upper limit of data to be inspected by the inspection apparatus. When the setting unit sets one or more areas, the display control unit displays values based on an amount of data on the object included in the one or more areas set by the setting unit as a graph.
Claims20
An inspection apparatus comprising:
- a reader configured to generate image data by scanning a printed material;
- a display configured to display information;
- and
- one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers being configured to:
- set inspection setting that includes one or more inspection areas including an object for a reference image taken as a reference for inspection;
- conduct an inspection of the printed material by inspecting the image data generated by the reader on a basis of the reference image and the inspection setting in a case where the inspection setting satisfies a predetermined condition;
- and
- not conduct an inspection of the printed material in a case where the inspection setting does not satisfy the predetermined condition,
- wherein the predetermined condition is that an inspection amount calculated on a basis of the one or more inspection areas included in the inspection setting and a data amount included in the one or more inspection areas is less than an upper limit,
- wherein the display displays the upper limit and the inspection amount in an associated manner,
- wherein the printed material includes a plurality of pages,
- wherein the inspection setting is set on a page-by-page basis for the plurality of pages, and
- wherein, before the inspection is conducted, the inspection amount set in the inspection setting for one page is notified on a basis of a difference of an inspection amount of the one page set in the inspection setting from an upper limit of the inspection amount of the one page settable in the inspection setting.

A control method for an inspection apparatus including a reader configured to generate image data by scanning a printed material and a display configured to display information, the control method comprising:
- setting inspection setting that includes one or more inspection areas including an object for a reference image taken as a reference for inspection;
- conducting an inspection of the printed material by inspecting the image data generated by the reader on a basis of the reference image and the inspection setting in a case where the inspection setting satisfies a predetermined condition;
- and
- not conducting an inspection of the printed material in a case where the inspection setting does not satisfy the predetermined condition,
- wherein the predetermined condition is that an inspection amount calculated on a basis of the one or more inspection areas included in the inspection setting and a data amount included in the one or more inspection areas is less than an upper limit,
- wherein the display displays the upper limit and the inspection amount in an associated manner,
- wherein the printed material includes a plurality of pages,
- wherein the inspection setting is set on a page-by-page basis for the plurality of pages, and
- wherein, before the inspection is conducted, the inspection amount set in the inspection setting for one page is notified on a basis of a difference of an inspection amount of the one page set in the inspection setting from an upper limit of the inspection amount of the one page settable in the inspection setting.

- and
- not conduct an inspection of the printed material in a case where the inspection setting does not satisfy the predetermined condition,
- wherein the predetermined condition is that an inspection amount calculated on a basis of the one or more inspection areas included in the inspection setting and a data amount included in the one or more inspection areas is less than an upper limit,
- wherein the display displays the upper limit and the inspection amount in an associated manner, and
- wherein the upper limit is a predetermined number of areas in use, and
- the inspection amount is a number of areas in use that has been area-converted on a basis of the calculated data amount.
