Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to acquire an output target image to be formed and output. The circuitry is configured to generate an image for inspection from the output target image. The circuitry is configured to add a reference point image to an area of the image for inspection in a case in which the circuitry fails to set a reference point based on the image for inspection. The circuitry is configured to align the reference point added to the image for inspection and the reference point image of a read image of the output target image formed on a recording medium with the reference point image added in response to adding the reference point image to the image for inspection, to compare the image for inspection with the read image to perform inspection.
