<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can connect a controller and an engine even if their charge counter control types are different. <P>SOLUTION: If a control type is not present on the engine, the control type is replaced before setting. If "No Control" is selected in a DOM (domestic) machine, "Overseas Type A" is set on the engine, and if "No Control" is selected in an EXP (overseas) machine, "Domestic Type" is set on the engine. If the engine does not have a setting of a "No Control" charge counter management type, the controller ensures it in a pseudo fashion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
