PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process cartridge, equipped with a nonvolatile memory, which can be adjusted for image stabilization when loaded in an image forming device body even if it is not brand-new. SOLUTION: The nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) of the process cartridge stores self-identification data (e.g. Y-color cartridge identification data) for identifying the process cartridge having the nonvolatile memory and other- identification data (e.g. M-color cartridge identification data, C-color cartridge identification data, and K-color cartridge identification data) for identifying other process cartridges loaded in the image forming device body.
