The present invention provides an information storage device and an image forming cartridge for an image forming apparatus. The information storage device comprises at least two communication interfaces, at least two storage units, a detection unit, a first control unit and a second control unit, wherein the communication interfaces are configured to connect with a controller in the image forming apparatus and establish an information communication path between the first control unit and the controller in the case of being connected with the controller; the storage units and the communication interfaces are arranged corresponding to each other; the detection unit is connected with each foregoing communication interface; and the first control unit and the second control unit are respectively connected with each foregoing storage unit and the detection unit. By adoption of the he information storage device, the following case can be avoided: the controller in the image forming apparatus continues to generate a control signal to control a corresponding component in the image forming apparatus to execute the image forming task due to the acquisition of improper image forming change information, but actually a colorant has been used out, and hence the image forming task cannot be finished, and consequently the image forming process can be interrupted. Therefore, the quality of executing the tasking task of the image forming apparatus can be improved. |
