<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve stability and reliability in reading data from the non- volatile memory of each of developing units and to decrease unnecessary radiation of electromagnetic waves. <P>SOLUTION: The non-volatile memory 101 is attached to each developing unit 14 and is connected to the communicating part of an image forming part 20 by radio communication. When an operator depresses a developing-unit check switch 201, data are read from the non-volatile memory 101 via the radio communication, and information about, for example, a quantity of remaining toner is displayed on an operation panel 200. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
