Inspection apparatus, control method for inspection apparatus, inspection system, control method for inspection system and storage medium

A control method for an inspection apparatus, comprising:

• registering, as a first registration, image data upon receiving the image data;
• receiving an arrangement location of the image data, the arrangement location being obtained based on the image data and a print setting;
• registering, as a second registration, reference image obtained by rearranging the image data based on the arrangement location;
• and
• performing an inspection on a printed material on which the image data is printed, upon receiving a scanned image obtained by scanning the printed material, based on the scanned image and the reference image,
• wherein the arrangement location of the image data includes information indicating whether to perform the inspection.

An inspection system including a printing apparatus, an inspection apparatus, and an image diagnosis unit configured to identify a malfunctioning portion in the inspection system based on a diagnostic chart inserted into a printed material, wherein the inspection system includes a controller configured to:

• generate an arrangement location of image data based on the image data and a print setting;
• and
• perform an inspection on the printed material on which the image data is printed, upon receiving a scanned image obtained by scanning the printed material, based on the scanned image and a reference image,
• wherein, in generating the arrangement location, information indicating that the inspection is not performed is added to the arrangement location corresponding to the diagnostic chart.
