Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit and a correction information output unit. The reading unit acquires a saddle-stitched surface picture by reading a saddle-stitched surface of a saddle-stitched booklet formed through folding and stapling processes performed by a saddle-stitching device, and acquires a cover surface picture by reading a cover surface of the saddle-stitched booklet. The correction information output unit outputs correction information about a stapling position to the saddle-stitching device. The correction information is calculated on the basis of a difference between a cover-side fold line position on the cover surface picture, which is specified on the basis of a saddle stitch-side fold line position detected from the saddle-stitched surface picture, and a staple position detected from the cover surface picture.

Claim (Index 3):
The image processing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a printing unit that, prior to a reading process performed by the reading unit, prints a first mark pair on the saddle-stitched surface at positions on different sides of a fold line and that prints a second mark pair on the cover surface at a same position as that of the first mark pair on the saddle-stitched surface, wherein the saddle-stitched surface picture includes a first mark image pair corresponding to the first mark pair, and the cover surface picture includes a second mark image pair corresponding to the second mark pair, and the cover-side fold line position is specified on a basis of a ratio between a distance from one mark image of the first mark image pair to the saddle stitch-side fold line position and a distance from the other mark image of the first mark image pair to the saddle stitch-side fold line position and a distance between the second mark image pair.
