An image forming apparatus includes a controller and a memory interface having a plurality of ports each configured to receive a portable memory removably attached thereto. The controller performs a portable memory using process including storing data in a dedicated memory, which is a portable memory set as a storage destination to store the data in the portable memory using process when attached to a dedicated port, and performing a process using the data stored in the dedicated memory in response to an operation received via a user interface. The controller sets, prior to the portable memory using process, one of the plurality of ports as the dedicated port, and provides a notification when determining that a target portable memory is not the dedicated memory but the port to which the target portable memory has been attached is the dedicated port.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executable by a controller of an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus comprising a print engine, a user interface, and a memory interface having a plurality of ports, each port being configured to receive a portable memory removably attached thereto, the instructions being configured to, when executed by the controller, cause the controller to:
A method implementable on an image forming apparatus comprising a print engine, a user interface, and a memory interface having a plurality of ports, each port being configured to receive a portable memory removably attached thereto, the method comprising:
