Printed material inspection system, printed material inspection method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A printed material inspection method comprising:

• comparing a scanned image obtained by scanning an inspection target page of a printed material, out of pages forming a job, with a reference image created based on rasterize data of the inspection target page and performing an inspection of whether or not a first defect is present in the scanned image at a first inspection level, which is a preset initial level or a level set by a user;
• automatically performing an inspection of whether or not a second defect is present in the scanned image at a second inspection level that is different from the first inspection level;
• and
• displaying the first defect and the second defect on a display so that the first defect is displayed in a manner corresponding to the first inspection level and the second defect is displayed in a manner corresponding to the second inspection level.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

• comparing a scanned image obtained by scanning an inspection target page of a printed material, out of pages forming a job, with a reference image created based on rasterize data of the inspection target page and performing an inspection of whether or not a first defect is present in the scanned image at a first inspection level, which is a preset initial level or a level set by a user;
• automatically performing an inspection of whether or not a second defect is present in the scanned image at a second inspection level that is different from the first inspection level;
• and
• displaying the first defect and the second defect on a display so that the first defect is displayed in a manner corresponding to the first inspection level and the second defect is displayed in a manner corresponding to the second inspection level.
