The purpose of the present invention is to provide an image formation device (1) that requires less startup time. To this end, this image formation device (1) has an asymmetric multiprocessing architecture involving an auxiliary storage unit (21) to be shared between a main control unit (10) and a sub control unit (11). Use areas (300) are areas to be accessed by the main control unit (10). Use areas (301) are areas to be accessed by the sub control unit (11). In accordance with a use area specification table (210), a use area specification section (100) specifies use areas (300), and use area specification section (101) specifies use areas (301). Defective area table preparation section (110) checks for defective areas in only use areas (300) while also setting areas other than the use areas (300) as defective areas in order to prepare a defective area table (200). Similarly, defective area table preparation section (111) checks use areas (301) while also setting areas other than the use areas (301) as defective areas in order to prepare a defective area table (201). |
