Abstract: In an image processing device a controller is configured to perform: a first display operation; and a second display operation to display at least one of a target color and a non-target color in a manner different from the at least one of the target color and the non-target color in a printing target image displayed by the first display operation. The target color is a color targeted for color calibration and included in a color calibration space. The color calibration space is defined by a predetermined number of first grid points and a plurality of second grid points. The first grid points define a first polyhedron with a minimum volume enclosing the specified color. The second grid points define a plurality of second polyhedra with the minimum volume together with the first grid points. The color calibration space is a space enclosed by the second grid points.

The terminal device may, in a case where a print instruction is acquired under a state where the data association information is stored in the memory, create one or more pieces of print data corresponding to one or more label images using the label file and the third database file associated with the label file, and send the one or more pieces of print data to a label printer.

Abstract: An image reading device includes a sensor and circuitry. The sensor reads an image on a recording medium. The circuitry inspects the image and outputs an inspection result. The circuitry excludes an area of the recording medium as a first area from an area to be inspected, based on a type of the recording medium or a position of the recording medium with respect to a reading position at which the sensor reads the image, to determine a second area to be inspected. The circuitry outputs the inspection result based on the second area.

Abstract: An image reading device includes linear image sensors that are arranged so that adjacent image sensors include an overlapping region in which portions of reading regions of the adjacent image sensors overlap in a main scanning direction, and a buffer unit for read image data. Image data of each overlapping region are generated by synthesizing first image data obtained by a first linear image sensor and second image data obtained by a second linear sensor, the first linear image sensor and the second linear sensor being adjacent in the main scanning direction. Image data of the predetermined line is generated based on image data in which the image data of each overlapping region are excluded from the image data stored in the buffer unit and the image data of each overlapping region. The processing is repeatedly executed in a sub-scanning direction.
