<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inexpensively realize a configuration for detecting whether correct components are connected to respective plurality of connection sections even when a plurality of components are connected in parallel to a signal line for allowing a controller to communicate with components connected to respective connection sections. <P>SOLUTION: Relationships between connection terminals 15 and signal lines 23 to 26 to be connected to the respective connection terminals are varied for the plurality of connectors 13K to 13C from each other. With respect to wiring between component terminals 33 and circuit terminals of respective ID chips 32k to 32C, routing for process cartridges are differed for every process cartridges 31K to 31C so that all of the plurality of circuit chips included in the ID chips 32k are connected to respectively corresponding signal lines 23 to 26 via the component terminals 33 and connection terminals 15, only when process cartridges 31K to 31C are respectively connected to corresponding connectors 13k to 13C. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
