1. An image processing device that processes an image in which a wiring pattern is drawn and outputs the image as raster data in which formation content of wiring print dots is defined for each pixel, the image processing device comprising:
an input section configured to receive the image in which the wiring pattern including a wire having a prescribed width that is an integer multiple of a pixel width of the pixel and a prescribed angle that is an integer multiple of a predetermined angle is drawn;
a scan section configured to sequentially perform scanning in a scan direction at intervals of the pixel width in a direction orthogonal to the scan direction to detect respective intersection points between an outline of the wire and respective scan lines;
a calculation section configured to calculate an intersection-to-intersection distance in the scan direction based on positions of the intersection points; and
a determination section configured to determine a line width of the wire in the scan direction and determine formation of dots for the determined line width for each pixel based on the intersection-to-intersection distance, the prescribed width, and a line width of an inclination wire which is the line width, in the scan direction, of a wire inclined according to the prescribed angle.
