<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent information recorded in a recording area from being lost when reusing the recording area in which the number of times of recording information reaches the maximum number of rewriting times in a nonvolatile rewritable memory with the maximum number of rewriting times set therein. <P>SOLUTION: An information management part 3 of an image forming apparatus records a count value recorded in the current count value recording area 17 in a count value storage section 18 when switching the current count value recording area 17 to a new count value recording area 17 or the past count value recording area 17 because the number of times of recording a count value in the current count value recording area 17 reaches the maximum number of rewriting times of an NVRAM 15. This prevents the past count value recorded in the past count value recording area 17 from disappearing when reusing the past count value recording area 17 where the number of recording times reaches the maximum number of rewriting times in the NVRAM 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
