<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism that determines an appropriate status to replace an in-motion status when the status should not be reported while a recording agent storage part is being moved to a replacement position. <P>SOLUTION: A controller unit 313 detects that a toner cartridge is rotationally moving to the replacement position, and acquires the state (first state) of a device 103 that is currently being displayed on a PC 102 and the state (second state) of the device 103 that transits after the toner cartridge moves to the replacement position. Then, the controller unit 313 determines whether or not the in-motion status should be reported to a user based on the first state and the second state, and determines the state of the device 103 that should be reported to the user who replaces the in-motion status when it is determined that the in-motion status should not be reported to the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
