Abstract:

An image generation apparatus includes an information acquisition section and an image generation section. The information acquisition section acquires record information to be recorded on a recording medium. The image generation section generates an image including code pattern images and a latent image for checking paper being copied. The code pattern image represents the record information acquired by the information acquisition section. The latent image for checking paper being copied includes second pattern images each having a smaller size than each code pattern image and third pattern images each having a larger size than each code pattern image.
