An image forming apparatus includes: a printer unit that forms an image based on image data and outputs the image on a sheet; and a control unit that controls hardware resources of the image forming apparatus including at least the printer unit by executing a first operating system that is activated on the image forming apparatus and a control program that operates on the first operating system to control the image forming apparatus. The control unit can execute second to N-th (N is an integer of 2 or more) operating systems that activate at least one or more applications and an emulator that is disposed between the first operating system and the second to N-th operating systems to allow the second to N-th operating systems to operate on the first operating system. |
