摘要： An image forming apparatus, for example, that is capable of accurately writing information into a developing unit or the like having an element is achieved. An image forming apparatus comprises: an attach/detach section to and from which a developing unit having an element into which information can be written and a developer containing section can be attached and detached; a photoconductor on which a latent image can be formed; a writing member for writing information into the element; and an AC voltage supply section for supplying an AC voltage. During a period from a start to an end of an image forming process, the writing member writes information into the element of the developing unit attached to the attach/detach section when the AC voltage supply section is not supplying an AC voltage.

摘要： An image forming apparatus and a computer system having an efficient communication system are achieved. The image forming apparatus etc. is provided with an antenna that is capable of wirelessly communicating both with the developing-unit element of the developing unit attached to the developing unit attach/detach section and with the photoconductor-unit element of the photoconductor unit attached to the photoconductor unit attach/detach section. Further, when R is an outermost diameter of a path traced by the developing units and r is an outermost diameter of a path traced by the elements when the rotating member is rotated with the developing units attached to the attach/detach sections, then a relationship R>r is satisfied.

摘要： An image forming system, etc., which provides a user or the like with great convenience is achieved. For example, an image forming apparatus is usable as a color image forming apparatus for forming color images and is usable as a monochrome image forming apparatus for forming monochrome images, and by moving one developing unit among attached developing units to an attach/detach position, a developing unit becomes replaceable. A timing for moving the predetermined developing unit to the attach/detach position when an event occurs in which development cannot be performed with the predetermined developing unit is different for when the image forming apparatus is being used as a color image forming apparatus and for when the image forming apparatus is being used as a monochrome image forming apparatus. See Fig. 12, for example.

摘要： Accurate communication with a developing unit etc. having an element is to be achieved. An image forming apparatus is provided with: a moving body provided with a plurality of attach/detach sections, wherein a developing unit is attachable to and detachable from each of the attach/detach sections, and the developing unit has a developer containing section and an element with which communication is possible; a photoconductor on which a latent image can be formed; and an antenna for wirelessly communicating with the element of the developing unit attached to the attach/detach section; wherein a longitudinal direction of the antenna is in a direction of movement of the moving body. Further, during a period from when the developing unit arrives at the opposing position until when it arrives at the detaching position due to movement of the moving body, a writing member writes information into the element of the developing unit.
