An image-forming apparatus to process a job includes volatile memory, non-volatile memory, a judging unit, a calculating unit, a defining unit, and a controller. The volatile memory stores a generated error log using a memory area. The non-volatile memory stores information for identifying an overwrite restricted error. The judging unit judges whether a generated error is a particular error. The calculating unit calculates remaining memory which is changed by a subsequent error log being written secured, with a position where a particular error log is written in the volatile memory as a reference, where the error is the particular error. The defining unit defines an acquisition level of an error log in a stepwise manner based on the calculated remaining memory. The controller outputs an error log to an apparatus according to the defined acquisition level being a particular level at which an error log has to be output. |

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to generate a plurality of print logs from events of a print job processed by the image forming apparatus, wherein each print log includes a log acquisition level associated with a predetermined print job event; a first determining unit, implemented by the processor, configured to determine, in response to a predefined error event occurring at print job processing, whether the error event is an overwrite suppression error event; a recursive memory configured to store print logs and overwrite a first print log with a second print log, wherein, in response to determining that the occurred error event is an overwrite suppression error event, the processor changes a mode of the recursive memory from a normal transfer mode to an overwrite suppression transfer mode; a setting unit, implemented by the processor, configured to set a log acquisition level based on a remaining memory capacity of the recursive memory, wherein, in response to a generated print log having a log acquisition level that is equal to or greater than the set log acquisition level, the processor transmits, to the recursive memory, the generated print log having the log acquisition level that is equal to or greater than the set log acquisition level; and a notifying unit configured to notify a print log from the recursive memory to an external apparatus, wherein, in a case where the mode of the recursive memory is the overwrite suppression transfer mode and the recursive memory stores, as an overwrite suppression print log, a print log of an error event that is an overwrite suppression error event, the recursive memory further is configured to overwrite the overwrite suppression print log only after the notifying unit notifies the overwrite suppression print log to the external apparatus. |
