Ink ejection inspecting device, ink ejection inspecting method, storage medium, ink ejecting device, and image forming apparatus

An ink ejection inspecting method that inspects an ejection state of inks from a plurality of nozzles provided in an ink ejecting device, wherein

• the hardware processor applies an inspection voltage for an ink ejection inspection to each of the nozzles after a standby period ends, the standby period being from after an image forming period during which a drive voltage for image formation is applied to each of the nozzles ends until an effect of the application of the drive voltage to each of the nozzles converges, and
• the hardware processor determines an ink ejection state of each of the nozzles on a basis of residual vibration of each of the nozzles obtained by applying the inspection voltage.

A storage medium storing an ink ejection inspecting program causing a computer to perform an inspection of an ejection state of inks from a plurality of nozzles provided in an ink ejecting device, the inspection comprising:

• applying an inspection voltage for an ink ejection inspection to each of the nozzles after a standby period ends, the standby period being from after an image forming period during which a drive voltage for image formation is applied to each of the nozzles ends until an effect of the application of the drive voltage to each of the nozzles converges;
• and
• determining an ink ejection state of each of the nozzles on a basis of residual vibration of each of the nozzles obtained by applying the inspection voltage.
