An image forming apparatus comprises a rotatable rotating body to and from which a plurality of developer containers can be attached and detached, each of the developer containers being capable of containing developer of a different color. When the image forming apparatus continuously forms images on a plurality of number of sheets of media using the developer of a single color contained in one of the developer containers attached to the rotating body, the image forming apparatus causes rotational movement of the rotating body at least once at least either when the image forming apparatus starts to continuously form the images, or when the image forming apparatus ends the continuous formation of the images.

An information playback apparatus is provided to obtain editing effects using an optical disc in the same sense as an analog record disc is manipulated. An audio editing apparatus for playing back an optical disc such as a CD is provided with a rotatable jog dial, detecting device for detecting the amount of rotation of the jog dial, and sensing device for sensing the presence or absence of a pressing force on the jog dial. When the jog dial is rotated while being depressed with a predetermined pressing force, processing for providing sound effects is performed on the playback data to be played back from the optical disc in response to the amount of rotation detected by the detecting device. It is thereby possible to provide the same feeling of operation as provided by rotating an analog record disc through hand operations to produce playback sounds.

A corona charger is provided with a back plate which defines a first space which surrounds a discharge electrode while opening a side that the discharge electrode faces an image carrier. The back plate is formed with a first opening. A storage has a second space which stores waste toner generated in the image forming apparatus. The storage is formed with a second opening. A filter causes ozone to pass through but blocks toner. The filter is disposed between the corona charger and the second space. The first space and the second space are communicated by way of the first opening and the second opening.

A game system includes a plurality of game apparatuses that can carry out short-range wireless communication with one another. One of the game apparatuses functions as a parent apparatus, and at least one other game apparatus functions as a child apparatus. The parent apparatus transmits transmission verification data a predetermined number of times. Accordingly, the child apparatus receives the transmission verification data from the parent apparatus, and transmits to the parent apparatus the same number of piece(s) of reception verification data as those of the received transmission verification data. The parent apparatus receives the reception verification data from the child apparatus, and detects the number of the received piece(s) of reception verification data. Also, the parent apparatus-varies a game process according to the number of the received piece(s) of data detected in communication with each child apparatus, and, for example, decides a communication priority rank of each child character based on the number of the received piece(s) of data. In addition, the child apparatus varies a game process according to the number of the received piece(s) of data corresponding to this apparatus itself.

A puzzle game apparatus includes a CPU. For example, a puzzle image to be solved such as a block, and a double block for creating a double character as a copy of a player character are displayed. The double character is, on the basis of at least a fact that the player character is superposed on the double block, generated in the superposed position. A time limit is set for displaying the double character. Then, when a formation or an arrangement pattern formed by the generated double character and the player character satisfies a predetermined condition indicated by the puzzle image, a change such as displaying an image of movement of a block, for example, is applied to progress of the game.

An image-forming apparatus includes a photoconductor on which a latent image can be formed, and a moving member having attaching/detaching sections to/from each of which one of developing units can be attached/detached. Each of the developing units has a developer container for containing developer that is capable of developing the latent image formed on the photoconductor. The developer in the developer container is stirred by moving the moving member when none of the developing units attached to each of the attaching/detaching sections is developing a latent image formed on the photoconductor, and a timing for moving the moving member to stir the developer in the developer container is variable.

An information playback apparatus is provided to obtain sound effects by using an optical disc in much the same way an analog record is manipulated. A pressing pressure applied onto a rotatable jog dial is detected by providing a pressure sensing layer to the jog dial. When no pressing pressure is applied onto the jog dial, audio information is played back from an optical disc at a normal tempo. When an end of the jog dial at rest is pressed with a pressing pressure within a predetermined range, a tempo of a playback sound played from the audio information is changed in response to the pressing pressure. When an end of the jog dial at rest is pressed with a large pressing pressure, a tempo of a playback sound played from the audio information is changed in such a manner that playback of a playback sound is stopped eventually. When the pressing pressure is released from the jog dial at rest, a tempo of a playback sound played back from the audio information is changed in such a manner that a playback sound is eventually played back at the normal tempo. Also, a tempo of a playback sound is changed in various manners in response to a pressing pressure onto the jog dial by providing manipulation keys for adjusting a quantity of change when changing a tempo of a playback sound in response to the level of a detection signal.

A video game apparatus includes a CPU. The CPU detects a camera code of a land object at the foot of a player object. According to the camera code, a camera is selected from a first virtual camera, a second virtual camera, and so on up to a fifth virtual camera. The selected virtual camera is controlled according to the corresponding camera control program. The plurality of virtual cameras provided in a virtual three dimensional space are selected by the camera codes contained in the land objects.

An optical disc reproducing apparatus repeatedly reproduces information recorded on an optical disc over a desired repeated reproduction interval from a starting position to an ending position. The apparatus is provided with: an optical pickup; a reproducing unit; a moving unit for moving the optical pickup from the ending position back to a predetermined position, which is positioned at a vicinity of the starting position, in a repeated reproduction operation; and a first memory for storing the information, which is recorded from the starting position to the predetermined position. The predetermined position is predetermined such that the information stored in the first memory have an information amount corresponding to a time enough for the moving unit to move the optical pickup from the ending position back to the predetermined position. The apparatus is also provided with a controller for controlling the reproducing unit to switch an object of reproduction from the information read by the optical pickup to the information of the first memory when the optical pickup arrives at the ending position and to reproduce the information of the first memory while the moving unit moves back the optical pickup.
