<p>An image forming apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a main controller board (100) having a control unit (101) corresponding to a basic model of a product, and a sub memory unit (110) configured to communicate with the control unit. The derivative model information, which is related to a derivative model that is derived from the basic model, is stored at the sub memory unit (110), and the control unit is configured to receive the stored derivative model information by communicating with the sub memory unit. An operation of the image forming apparatus is controlled based on the received derivative model information, thereby supporting a plurality of series models in an integrated manner by use of the main controller board of a basic model without manufacturing a main board for each of the series models of the image forming apparatus while the series models are provided with the functionalities that are similar to each other.</p> |
