Control device and related system provided with same

The invention provides a technology capable of easily shooting a continuously conveyed printing base material in a printing system. A control device (16) controls an image information acquisition device. The image information acquisition device acquires an image of a predetermined region of a printed matter printed by a printing unit (14-D) that prints a continuously conveyed substrate (12) in accordance with a predetermined printing cycle. The control device (16) detects the printing cycle and controls the image information acquisition device (58) so as to acquire an image of the printed matter at a timing corresponding to the detection result. 本发明提供一种能够在印刷系统中容易地对连续输送的印刷基材进行拍摄的技术。本发明的控制装置(16)控制图像信息获取装置，该图像信息获取装置获取由按照规定的印刷循环对连续输送的基材(12)进行印刷的印刷单元(14-D)印刷的印刷体的规定区域的图像，其中，该控制装置(16)检测印刷循环并且控制图像信息获取装置(58)以使其在与该检测结果相对应的时刻获取印刷体的图像。
