Abstract
A stand-alone inspection apparatus inspects documents printed on a cut sheet, and includes: a sheet feeder capable of setting the documents in a sorted state; a sorting detector that detects the sorted state of the documents; an image reader that reads an image of the documents; an inspection part that inspects the documents on the basis of the read image; and a sheet ejector that ejects the inspected documents, wherein in a case where the documents in the sorted state are set in the sheet feeder, the sheet ejector ejects the documents in a state equivalent to the sorted state detected by the sorting detector.
