Image inspecting device and image forming apparatus incorporating the image inspecting device

Abstract

An image inspecting device includes an abnormality detector and circuitry. The abnormality detector is configured to detect an abnormality of an inspection object image. The circuitry is configured to set a non-detection area to be excluded from a detection object area within which the abnormality detector detects an image abnormality and set an area including an abnormality detection portion as the non-detection area when a detection result obtained by the abnormality detector satisfies a non-detection condition.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
