PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic image forming device capable of sharing the using state information of a processing cartridge even when the same processing cartridge is used for a plurality of electrophotographic image forming devices. SOLUTION: The device is constituted of a detecting means 21 for detecting use state information when the processing cartridge B is used for the electrophotographic image forming device A-1, a reloadable storing means 20 storing the use state information of the processing cartridge B that is detected by the detecting means 21, and an information transmitting/receiving means 105 for performing the information transmission/reception with the other electrostatic photographic image forming device A-2 with respect to the use state information of the processing cartridge B stored in the device A-2 to/from which the processing cartridge can be attached/detached. |
