Abstract:
An image inspection apparatus includes: an image area signal generator that refers to information from an image forming apparatus to set lengths of turning on and off of a sub-scanning image area signal that determines turning on and off of reading, and generates the sub-scanning image area signal to indicate a start of image formation; a reader that reads an image; an inspector that compares a read image generated through reading with an expected-value image; and a controller that controls the image area signal generator, the reader, and the inspector, wherein, when a deviation equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value is detected at positions of sub-scanning on corresponding images during the comparison, the controller adjusts an OFF period of the sub-scanning image area signal to eliminate a positional deviation of sub-scanning on the corresponding images between the read image and the expected-value image.

Claim (Index 5):
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable image inspection apparatus control program that controls an image inspection apparatus arranged on a downstream side of an image forming apparatus that forms an image on roll paper, the image inspection apparatus comprising:\n an image area signal generator that refers to information from the image forming apparatus to set lengths of turning on and off of a sub-scanning image area signal that determines turning on and off of reading, and generates the sub-scanning image area signal using a leading patch as a trigger, the leading patch being formed on the roll paper to indicate a start of image formation in the image forming apparatus; a reader that reads an image formed on the roll paper based on the sub-scanning image area signal; an inspector that compares a read image generated through reading by the reader with an expected-value image supplied from the image forming apparatus to inspect; and a controller that controls the image area signal generator, the reader, and the inspector, the non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable image inspection apparatus control program causing a computer of the image inspection apparatus to function so as to, in a case where a deviation equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value is detected at positions of sub-scanning on corresponding images during comparison between the read image and the expected-value image by the inspector, adjust an OFF period of the sub-scanning image area signal generated by the image area signal generator to eliminate a positional deviation of sub-scanning on the corresponding images between the read image and the expected-value image.
