Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an authentication section configured to execute an authentication process on a replacement part; and a controller configured to skip the authentication process when determining that a stop period from the start of operation stop to the end or the operation stop is equal to or shorter than a predetermined period of time, and to execute the authentication process when determining that the stop period exceeds the predetermined period of time.
Claims15
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- an authentication section configured to execute an authentication process on a replacement part;
- and
- a controller configured to skip the authentication process when determining that a stop period from the start of an operation stop to the end of the operation stop is equal to or shorter than a predetermined period of time, and to execute the authentication process when determining that the stop period exceeds the predetermined period of time
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- an authentication section configured to execute an authentication process on a replacement part;
- and
- a controller configured to start the authentication process on the replacement part determined to be used in a job to be executed at the end of the operation stop prior to the authentication process on other replacement parts.
A control method, comprising:
- skipping an authentication process on a replacement part when it is determined that a stop period from the start of operation stop to the end of the operation stop is equal to or shorter than a predetermined period of time, and
- executing the authentication process when it is determined that the stop period exceeds the predetermined period of time.
A control method, comprising:
- starting an authentication process on a replacement part determined to be used in a job to be executed at the end of an operation stop prior to the authentication process on other replacement parts.
