Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an image forming unit of an electrophotographic method, a detection processing unit, and a determination processing unit. The detection processing unit detects a streaky image along a sub-scanning direction from a first image and a second image among images indicated by image data. The first image has a print density equal to or more than a predetermined reference print-density value, and the second image has a print density less than the reference print-density value. The determination processing unit determines a cause of abnormality in the image forming unit based on a detection result of the streaky image by the detection processing unit for each of the first image and the second image.
