irradiation defect inspection method, irradiation failure of the inspection device, and an image forming apparatus

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten an inspection time for an irradiation failure.;SOLUTION: An irradiation failure inspecting method includes: acquiring read data when a scanner reads an irradiation surface of an irradiation unit in a state where a reading surface of the scanner faces the irradiation surface of the irradiation unit and the irradiation unit irradiates photo-curable ink with light ; acquiring a value corresponding to an irradiation energy of the light from the irradiation unit by integrating the read data in a paper conveying direction of a printer; and determining that the irradiation failure occurs in the irradiation unit when the value corresponding to the irradiation energy of the light is equal to or less than a threshold value.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
