Abstract
An image forming apparatus, which includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording medium and generate trace data. The image forming apparatus further includes a first storing unit, a second storing unit, and a control unit configured to allow the trace data generated from the image forming unit to be stored in the first storing unit, and further configured to allow the trace data stored in the first storing unit to be stored in the second storing unit upon occurrence of an error.
Claims11
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording medium and generate trace data;
- a first storing unit;
- a second storing unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to allow the trace data generated from the image forming unit to be stored in the first storing unit, and further configured to allow the trace data stored in the first storing unit to be stored in the second storing unit upon occurrence of an error.
A method of storing trace data for use in an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:
- forming an image on a recording medium
- generating trace data when the image forming apparatus is forming the image on the recording medium;
- storing the trace data in a first storing unit;
- and
- shifting the trace data stored in the first storing unit to a second storing unit upon occurrence of an error.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the operations of:
- forming an image on a recording medium
- generating trace data when the image forming apparatus is forming the image on the recording medium;
- storing the trace data in a first storing unit;
- and
- shifting the trace data stored in the first storing unit to a second storing unit upon occurrence of an error.
