IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

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 configured to process a job, the image-forming apparatus comprising:
volatile memory configured to store an error log generated at processing of the job recursively using a memory area having predetermined capacity; non-volatile memory configured to store information for identifying an error of which overwrite is restricted; a judging unit configured to judge whether a generated error is a particular error included in information to be identified; a calculating unit configured to calculate remaining memory which is changed by a subsequent error log being written in the memory area secured, with a position where a particular error log is written in the volatile memory as a reference, in a case that the error is the particular error; a defining unit configured to define an acquisition level of an error log stored in the volatile memory in a stepwise manner based on the calculated remaining memory; and a controller configured to output an error log written in the volatile memory to an information processing apparatus according to the defined acquisition level being a particular level at which an error log has to be output.
