Abstract: An image forming system is provided. The image forming system comprises an image forming unit configured to execute a print job and form an image on a supplied sheet; and an inspection unit configured to inspect quality of the image formed in the sheet, wherein the inspection unit does not set a sheet discharged by the image forming unit without being used for the print job to a target of inspection.

Abstract: The inspection device determines whether or not it is possible to inspect whether or not the imaged image of the surface to be inspected has a defect based on the comparison between the imaged image imaged of the surface to be inspected of the printed matter and the reference image. Whether or not to execute the processing related to printing is controlled according to the determination result of whether or not the inspection device can execute the inspection.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, a verification unit, an insertion unit, and a display unit. The printing unit prints an image on a recording sheet. The verification unit verifies the image printed by the printing unit. The insertion unit inserts an insertion sheet, on which an identifier is printed, to partition a plurality of recording sheets, on each of which the image is printed, for each bundle of a predetermined number of sheets. The display unit displays the number of recording sheets on each of which an image associated with the identifier and determined as a normal image by the verification unit is printed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, a reading unit, a verification unit, and a control unit. The printing unit prints an image on a recording sheet. The reading unit reads the image printed by the printing unit. The verification unit verifies the image read by the reading unit. The control unit performs control to cause information, indicating that the image read by the reading unit is not to be verified by the verification unit, to be printed on the recording sheet with the image. When the reading unit reads the information, the control unit performs control so that the image is not to be verified by the verification unit.
