Abstract: An image reading portion includes a light emitting portion and a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements. The light emitting portion emits detection light to a target area extending over a surface of a conveying belt and a pair of off-belt areas outside the conveying belt in a width direction. The image reading portion outputs a plurality of pixel data items. A reference member forms a pair of boundary lines by the difference in reflectance of the detection light at a pair of reference positions in the pair of off-belt areas. A calibration portion identifies data items corresponding to the pair of boundary lines in the plurality of pixel data items obtained by the image reading portion so as to correct reference position data representing a correspondence relationship between the plurality of pixel data items and positions in the width direction.

Abstract: An image-forming unit forms a referential image on a first sheet. A reading unit reads the referential image on the first sheet to generate referential read image data. A calibration unit calibrates input image data using calibration parameters derived based on the referential read image data. The image-forming unit forms a target image on a second sheet based on the calibrated data. The reading unit reads the target image on the second sheet to generate read image data for inspection. An inspection unit inspects quality of the target image based on comparison between the input image data and the read image data for inspection. The calibration parameters are derived based on the referential read image data to which flare correction has been applied. The inspection unit compares the input image data with the corrected read image data.
