PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an excellent image by making an image forming condition appropriate in accordance with the usable amount of a process cartridge in the case of selectively attaching different and several kinds of process cartridges to an image forming device body and using the process cartridge. SOLUTION: In this process cartridge 100 where at least an electrostatic latent image carrier 1 and one or more processing means such as an electrifying means 2, etc., acting on the image carrier 1 are integrated and which can be attached to/detached from an image forming device body; the electrifying means 2 uniformly electrifying the image carrier 1 comes in contact with the image carrier 1 being a body to be electrified and electrifies it by voltage obtained by superimposing a DC component and an AC component. It is provided with a storage means 60 storing information on the usable amount of the cartridge 100 and the image forming condition is appropriately controlled, based on the stored content in the storage means 60. |
