Abstract
The information processing apparatus receives a print job from an external apparatus and generates, from print data included in the print job, image data for printing and image area attribute information related to content for each area included in an image to be printed. In addition, for an area in which the image area attribute information indicates a text string attribute, the information processing apparatus extracts, from the print data, direction information related to an orientation of a text string and transmits, to the printing apparatus, the image area attribute information and the direction information, together with the image data for printing. The inspection apparatus inspects a printed product according to the image data for printing, by comparing a read image of the printed product, and a reference image, which is received image data for printing, according to the image area attribute information and the direction information.
