Abstract: An image inspection apparatus for inspecting an image output on a recording medium by scanning the recording medium as a scanned image. The inspection apparatus having a display controller that controls display of a normal read image, which includes only permissible defects for each type of defect, in the normal image display area, and that controls display of an abnormal read image, which includes at least one impermissible defect for each type of defect, in the abnormal image area. The inspection apparatus also includes a defect permissible changing unit that receives a moving operation instruction, which moves the displayed image between the normal image display area and the abnormal image display area and that, in response to receiving the moving operation instruction, changes the permissible defect level of at least one type of defect.

Abstract: A printing device includes data transfer control units that store an image data transferred from un upper level device into a storage unit and reads out the image data from the storage unit in response to an instruction to start a printing, printing units that print the data onto a recording medium, an output control unit that outputs each image data to a predetermined printing unit, and a printing control unit that instructs the data transfer units to transfer the stored image data corresponding to one page to the output control unit, when a storage report of the image data corresponding to one page is sent from any of the data transfer control units, and stops a conveyance of the recording medium after any of the printing units completes the printing onto the recording medium under the printing in a case that a predetermined specific trouble occurs.

Abstract: A printer device connects a plurality of stations each having a plurality of data transmission control units which perform data transmission for respective colors of C, M, Y, and K received from an upper level device, and prints transmitted image data of the respective colors. The transmission of image data received from the upper level device is performed to be thinned out in a raster unit in accordance with the number of stations by a plurality of data transmission control units, which controls image data of the same color, from among a plurality of data transmission control units of each of a plurality of stations. A sheet conveying speed is determined in accordance with the number of stations, and the determined conveyance speed is allocated on a conveyance control unit when sheet conveying starts.
