Abstract
An inspection apparatus includes a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories, the controller being configured to receive an inspection level that is used in an inspection process of images that have been read by a reading apparatus from images formed on sheets conveyed consecutively from an image formation apparatus by execution of a job; and execute the inspection process, wherein the controller is capable of receiving a change in the inspection level during execution of the job, and in a case where the change in the inspection level is received, the controller performs the inspection process of images formed by the job at the inspection level changed after receipt of the change.
Claims15
An inspection apparatus comprising:
- a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories, the controller being configured to:
- receive an inspection level that is used in an inspection process of images that have been read by a reading apparatus from images formed on sheets conveyed consecutively from an image formation apparatus by execution of a job;
- and
- execute the inspection process,
- wherein the controller is capable of receiving a change in the inspection level during execution of the job, and in a case where the change in the inspection level is received, the controller performs the inspection process of images formed by the job at the inspection level changed after receipt of the change.
A control method of an inspection apparatus, comprising:
- receiving an inspection level that is used in an inspection process of images consecutively conveyed from an image formation apparatus by execution of a job;
- and
- performing the inspection process in response to acquisition of the images that have been read by a reading apparatus from images on sheets formed by the image formation apparatus,
- wherein a change in the inspection level is received in the receiving even during execution of the job.
An inspection system including a printing apparatus for printing an image on a print medium to produce a printed product, a reading apparatus for reading the printed product to generate image data, and an inspection apparatus configured to inspect the printed product based on the image data, the inspection system comprising:
- a reception interface (IF) configured to receive an inspection level for use in an inspection process in which the printing apparatus generates the printed product by executing a job, the reading apparatus generates the image data based on the printed product, and the inspection apparatus inspects the printed product based on the image data;
- and
- an inspection unit configured to perform the inspection process of the printed product based on the image data at the inspection level,
- wherein the reception IF is capable of receiving a change in the inspection level during execution of the job, and in a case where the change in the inspection level has been received by the reception IF, the inspection unit performs the inspection process of the printed product formed by the job, based on the image data at the inspection level set after receipt of the change.
