Abstract
An example image forming apparatus includes an input interface, an output interface, a memory, and a processor. The processor is to output information related to whether a function of the image forming apparatus is enabled through the output interface, based on the function of the image forming apparatus being disabled, output information indicating whether a size of the memory corresponding to the disabled function is allocated, and based on receiving a signal to remove a memory size allocated to the disabled function through the input interface, remove the memory size allocated to the disabled function and adjusts an allocation state of the memory size to a user setting state.
Claims15
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an input interface;
- an output interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is to:
- output information related to whether a function of the image forming apparatus is enabled through the output interface and, based on the function of the image forming apparatus being disabled, output information indicating whether a size of the memory corresponding to the disabled function is allocated, and
- based on receiving a signal, alter a memory size allocated to the disabled function through the input interface to be temporarily usable by a different function, alter the memory size allocated to the disabled function, and adjust an allocation state of the memory size to a user setting state.
A method of setting a memory size, the method comprising:
- outputting information related to whether a function of an image forming apparatus is enabled;
- outputting information indicating whether a size of a memory corresponding to a disabled function is allocated;
- and
- based on receiving a signal to alter the memory size allocated to the disabled function through an input interface to be temporarily usable by a different function, altering the memory size allocated to the disabled function and adjusting an allocation state of the memory size to a user setting state.
A non-transitory computer readable medium with a program to execute a method of memory size setting recorded therein, comprising:
- instructions to output information related to whether a function of an image forming apparatus is enabled;
- instructions to output information indicating whether a memory size corresponding to a disabled function is allocated, based on a function of the image forming apparatus being disabled;
- and
- instructions to adjust a memory allocation state to a user setting state by altering the memory size allocated to the disabled function to be temporarily usable by a different function.
