Inspection device, printer, and method to inspect images accurately
Abstract:
An inspection device includes a reader including a light source and a light receiving element, a white reference section, a memory storing reference data of a white pixel value, and a controller. The controller is configured to cause the light source to emit light toward the white reference section, and receive a pixel signal output from the reader when the light receiving element receives reflected light from the white reference section, determine a rate of decrease in a pixel value relative to the reference data, based on the received pixel signal, when the rate of decrease is equal to or higher than a first threshold, output an instruction signal concerning an instruction to clean the reader, re-determine the rate of decrease in response to receiving input of a completion signal concerning completion of cleaning of the reader, and update the reference data using the re-determined rate of decrease.
