Abstract
An information processing apparatus is communicably connected to one or more image forming apparatuses each including: an image forming device that forms an image on a recording medium; an image reading device that reads the image to obtain read image data; and an image forming controller that executes a first inspection and detects in the read image data an image defect corresponding to a predetermined inspection item at a first cycle, the information processing apparatus including: a processing controller that: acquires inspection source data based on the read image data obtained from at least one of the image forming apparatuses, and executes a second inspection to inspect the inspection source data.
