  • Publication number: 20240171687
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a read image resulting from reading a recording medium where a diagnostic image to be used to diagnose an image forming apparatus is formed; acquire, from the read image, an image read portion of the recording medium from which the diagnostic image is read and one specific portion of a non-formation read portion, the non-formation read portion resulting from reading a non-formation portion of the recording medium where the diagnostic image is not formed; and output the image read portion and the one specific portion.

  • Patent number: 11375074
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a mounting table on which an object whose image is to be scanned is mounted; an image forming section that forms an image, which includes a first image for measuring a relative position with respect to an end portion of a paper, on a first side of the paper; an image scanning section that scans the image mounted on the mounting table; and a position correction section that corrects a relative position of an image, which is formed on the paper, with respect to the paper based on a result of scanning performed by the image scanning section, in which in a case where the image scanning section scans the end portion of the paper and the image formed on the first side of the paper in a state in which the first side of the paper on which the first image is formed faces the mounting table, the end portion of the paper is mounted on the mounting table at a position separated from an end portion of the mounting table, and, further, the paper is covered with a cover paper, and the ima

  • Patent number: 11104166
    Abstract: A printer includes a first printing unit responsible for one of preceding printing and subsequent printing that are to be performed on one sheet in overprinting, an other of the preceding printing and the subsequent printing being performed by a second printing unit; and a base-printing controller that causes the first printing unit to print a base for printing by the second printing unit in an operation of forming a test pattern for registration between the preceding printing and the subsequent printing on the sheet.

  • Patent number: 10596843
    Abstract: There is provided a printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes a memory storing a program; and at least one hardware processor configured to execute a process in the program. The process includes: performing at least one printing operation of pre-printing and post-printing of overprinting which is an operation of performing pre-printing on a medium and then performing post-printing on the medium; and printing one of charts indicating reference positions by the intersection points of reference lines, during test printing related to each of the at least one printing operation, wherein the directions of reference lines corresponding to pre-printing are different from the directions of reference lines corresponding to post-printing.
