Abstract
An image processing device includes a sensing unit that senses an external storage device connected from outside, wherein an internal non-volatile storage device is not used for image forming operations, and the external storage device sensed by the sensing unit is used for the image forming operations.
Claims18
An image processing device comprising:
- at least one hardware processor configured to implement:
- an internal non-volatile storage device;
- a sensing unit that senses an external storage device connected to the image processing device from outside of the image processing device;
- and
- in response to detecting that the external storage device has been in a formatted state after being sensed by the sensing unit, controlling image forming operations such that:
- the internal non-volatile storage device is not used for the image forming operations, and
- the external storage device sensed by the sensing unit is used for the image forming operations.

An image processing method comprising:
- sensing an external storage device connected to an image processing device from outside of the image processing device;
- and
- in response to detecting that the external storage device has been in a formatted state after being sensed by the sensing unit, controlling image forming operations such that:
- internal non-volatile storage device is not used for the image forming operations, and
- the sensed external storage device is used for the image forming operations wherein
- the internal non-volatile storage device is internal to the image processing device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing an image, the process comprising:
- sensing an external storage device connected to an image processing device from outside of the image processing device, wherein
- in response to detecting an indication that the external storage device has been in a formatted state after being sensed by the sensing unit, controlling image forming operations such that:
- the internal non-volatile storage device is not used for the image forming operations, and
- the sensed external storage device is used for the image forming operations, wherein
- the internal non-volatile storage device is internal to the image processing device.
