发明名称 Image forming apparatus having current detection
摘要 An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material includes a cartridge, detachably mountable to a main assembly of the image forming apparatus, including a memory and an image forming process member actable on an image bearing member, and a current detecting portion, provided in the main assembly, for detecting a value of current passing through the process member. The current detecting portion detects the value of the current passing through the process member when a voltage is applied to the process member, and the memory stores information for discriminating whether or not the process member is recyclable on the basis of the detected value of the current.
