<p>An apparatus for maintaining an electrophotographic apparatus with at least a photosensitive member comprises a first memory (26) for storing a count value for the number of prints, and a second memory (26) for storing the number of replacements of the first memory (25) when the count value for the number of prints has reached a value based on which a decision is made whether the service life of the photosensitive member is expired. When it is determined that the value stored in the second memory (25) has reached a predetermined value, a user is informed of the maintenance period of other maintenance-requiring components than the photosensitive member. <IMAGE></p> |
