Image inspection device, computer-readable recording medium storing a program, and image forming device

Abstract

An image inspection device includes a processor coupled to a sensor. The processor reads, using the sensor, an image formed on a recording material by an image forming device and creates a read image; causes an analysis to detect an abnormality in the read image and creates an analysis result; and creates a normal image file including the read image in which the abnormality has not been detected based on the analysis result.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image inspection device comprising:
 a processor coupled to a sensor and that:
 reads an image formed on a recording material by an image forming device and creates a read image; 
 causes an analysis to detect an abnormality in the read image and creates an analysis result; and 
 creates a normal image file including the read image in which the abnormality has not been detected based on the analysis result. 
   
     
     
         2 . The image inspection device according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor further creates an abnormal image file including the read image in which the abnormality has been detected. 
     
     
         3 . The image inspection device according to  claim 2 , wherein the processor further:
 creates the abnormal image file of a current job in preference to the normal image file of the current job.   
     
     
         4 . The image inspection device according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the file creator creates the abnormal image file of another job that is executed after the current job in preference to the normal image file of the current job.   
     
     
         5 . The image inspection device according to  claim 3 , wherein
 when an abnormality is detected in the read image of another job that is executed after the current job, the processor stops a process to create the normal image file of the current job and preferentially creates the abnormal image file of the another job.   
     
     
         6 . The image inspection device according to  claim 3 , wherein the processor further:
 sends a stop command to the image forming device when an abnormality is detected in the read image of the current job, and   preferentially creates the abnormal image file from the read image.   
     
     
         7 . The image inspection device according to  claim 2 , wherein if the processor causes a recovery process to make the image forming device re-form the image that corresponds to the read image in which the abnormality has been detected, the processor does not create the abnormal image file. 
     
     
         8 . The image inspection device according to  claim 2 , wherein if the processor does not cause a recovery process to make the image forming device re-form the image that corresponds to the read image in which the abnormality has been detected, the processor:
 creates the abnormal image file in preference to the normal image file; or   creates only the abnormal image file.   
     
     
         9 . The image inspection device according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor creates the normal image file for: every job executed by the image forming, a collated set, a prescribed number of pages, or a prescribed file size. 
     
     
         10 . The image inspection device according to  claim 2 , wherein the processor creates either the normal image file or the abnormal image file according to a user setting. 
     
     
         11 . A computer-readable recording medium storing a program causing a computer to perform:
 reading an image formed on a recording material by an image forming device and creating a read image;   causing an analysis to detect an abnormality in the read image and creating an analysis result; and   creating a normal image file including the read image in which the abnormality has not been detected based on the analysis result.   
     
     
         12 . An image forming device comprising:
 a processor coupled to a sensor and that:
 causes an image forming section to form an image on a recording material; 
 reads the image formed on the recording material and creates a read image; 
 causes an analysis to detect an abnormality in the read image and creates an analysis result; and 
 creates a normal image file including the read image in which the abnormality has not been detected based on the analysis result.
