An image forming apparatus includes a developing unit, which is detachably installed in the image forming apparatus, and a setting storage section, which stores firmware. The developing unit includes an IC tag for storing an update program for updating the firmware of the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a detection section for detecting that the developing unit is installed in the image forming apparatus, a program acquisition section for acquiring the update program from the IC tag, and an update program execution section for executing the update program so as to perform a writing function of updating the firmware. This makes it possible to provide an image forming apparatus, which does not receive data from outside via a communication device, but which allows automatic version upgrading of the firmware serving as software for operating the image forming apparatus.
