Output paper with quality problems is ejected to the top tray of the High Capacity Stacker, and output paper with no problems is output to the specified output destination. (Only when the High Capacity Stacker option is attached)
Job recovery
If an image with a quality problem is found during an inspection, the inspection can be automatically executed again on the page that contains the image that has the problem and subsequent pages. (Recovery might not be possible depending on the situation, such as if a paper jam occurs.)
