Abstract

An image processing device includes: a processor configured to obtain a positional deviation amount of an actual folding line from an expected folding line on a test sheet, and generate, based on the positional deviation amount, sheet image information including image data representing an image to be formed on a sheet, so as to change a position of the image.

Claims (22)

1. An image processing device comprising:

a processor configured to

prior to forming an image on a sheet, obtain a positional deviation amount of an actual folding line from an expected folding line on a test sheet, the test sheet different from the sheet, and

generate, based on the positional deviation amount, sheet image information including image data representing an image to be formed on a sheet, the image data providing for the image to be formed in an orientation and location consistent with the positional deviation amount of the actual folding line from the expected folding line.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the positional deviation amount includes a rotation angle deviation amount of the actual folding line from the expected folding line, and

the processor is configured to rotate the image data based on the rotation angle deviation amount to generate the sheet image information.

3. The image processing device according to claim 2 , wherein

the positional deviation amount further includes a translation deviation amount of the actual folding line from the expected folding line, and

the processor is configured to translate the image data based on the translation deviation amount to generate the sheet image information.

4. The image processing device according to claim 3 , wherein when at least one of the rotating of the image data or the translating of the image data results in the image residing beyond a printable area of the sheet, the processor performs control such that a warning is issued.

5. An image forming device obtaining sheet image information from the image processing device according to claim 1 , and forming the image on the sheet based on the sheet image information.

6. An image forming device comprising:

a processor configured to

prior to forming an image on a sheet, obtain a positional deviation amount of an actual folding line from an expected folding line on a test sheet, the test sheet different from the sheet, and

control, based on the positional deviation amount, an operation of forming an image on a sheet, the image being formed in an orientation and location consistent with the positional deviation amount of the actual folding line from the expected folding line.

7. The image forming device according to claim 5 , wherein the sheet on which the image is formed is folded into a half fold and cut with a folding back as a reference.

8. The image forming device according to claim 6 , wherein the sheet on which the image is formed is folded into a half fold and cut with a folding back as a reference.

9. An image processing device comprising:

means for

prior to forming an image on a sheet, obtaining a positional deviation amount of an actual folding line from an expected folding line on a test sheet, the test sheet different from the sheet, and

generating, based on the positional deviation amount, sheet image information including image data representing an image to be formed on a sheet, the image data providing for the image to be formed in an orientation and location consistent with the positional deviation amount of the actual folding line from the expected folding line.
