<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately grasp the replacement timing for a motor and at the same time control cost increase of the motor for a printing apparatus equipped with a rotation part for image transfer which is driven to turn by a motor. <P>SOLUTION: The printing apparatus calculates, by a control part 81, the corrected life value computed based on the load fluctuation conditions of a motor and the life value based on the predetermined initial life value and the number of pages printed. The replacement timing of the motor is determined when this life value becomes equal to the predetermined value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
