Abstract

A device according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to: attach identification information to a correct image candidate, which is a candidate for a correct image to be used in image quality determination; instruct printing of the correct image candidate to which the identification information is attached; and display the identification information attached to the correct image candidate in association with a preview image of the correct image candidate.

Claims (38)

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a display;

a printer configured to print reference image candidates on recording sheets;

a reader configured to read the reference image candidates printed by the printer;

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors which executes the instructions to perform:

displaying the reference image candidates read by the reader on the display;

registering a reference image based on at least a reference image candidate selected by an instruction from a user from among the displayed reference image candidates; and

inspecting a target image that is printed by the printer and read by the reader based on the registered reference image,

wherein the one or more processors causes:

the printer to print identification information in a margin of the recording sheet on which the reference image candidate is printed, and

the display to display the reference image candidates with the identification information,

wherein the identification information printed on the respective recording sheets is information different from each other.

2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to register the reference image after the identification information attached to the reference image candidate is deleted.

3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises a number.

4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises a mark.

5. An information processing method to be executed by an image forming apparatus including a display, a printer configured to print reference image candidates on recording sheets, and a reader configured to read the reference image candidates printed by the printer, the information processing method comprising:

displaying the reference image candidates read by the reader on the display;

registering a reference image based on at least a reference image candidate selected by an instruction from a user from among the displayed reference image candidates;

inspecting a target image that is printed by the printer and read by the reader based on the registered reference image;

causing the printer to print identification information in a margin of the recording sheet on which the reference image candidate is printed; and

causing the display to display the reference image candidates with the identification information,

wherein the identification information printed on the respective recording sheets is information different from each other.

6. The information processing method according to claim 5 , wherein registering further registers the reference image, the reference image candidate as a reference image after the identification information attached to the reference image candidate is deleted.

7. The information processing method according to claim 5 , wherein the identification information comprises a number.

8. The information processing method according to claim 5 , wherein the identification information comprises a mark.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by an image forming apparatus including a display, a printer configured to print reference image candidates on recording sheets, and a reader configured to read the reference image candidates printed by the printer, causes the image forming apparatus to perform an information processing method, the method comprising:

displaying the reference image candidates read by the reader on the display;

registering a reference image based on at least a reference image candidate selected by an instruction from a user from among the displayed reference image candidates;

inspecting a target image that is printed by the printer and read by the reader based on the registered reference image;

causing the printer to print identification information in a margin of the recording sheet on which the reference image candidate is printed; and

causing the display to display the reference image candidates and the identification information,

wherein the identification information printed on the respective recording sheets is information different from each other.

10. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a region corresponding to the margin of the recording sheet is not inspected.

11. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to delete the identification information from the reference image candidate.

12. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to:

generate, from the selected at least reference image candidate, the reference image in which the identification information is deleted; and

register the generated reference image.
