<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify component management, stock control and manufacturing and as a result, to reduce a cost of an apparatus itself and a running cost. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of control data blocks for functional setting for setting a plurality of different functions by stand-alone hardware or combination of hardware are prepared among a plurality of pieces of hardware. Furthermore, a plurality of control data blocks for performance setting capable of switching performance of the functions to a plurality of stages are prepared in the data blocks for functional setting. Effective/ineffective blocks are controlled by unit of block among the plurality of control data blocks for functional setting and the plurality of control data blocks for performance setting by a hardware key here. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
