Abstract:
1. An image formation apparatus comprising: a developer image formation section configured to form plural developer images whose colors are different from each other, the developer image formation section including a plurality of developer image formation units being individually attachable to and detachable from a body of the image formation apparatus and configured to form the respective color developer images; a transfer device configured to transfer the plural developer images onto a medium while superimposing the developer images on each other, thereby to form a multi-color developer image on the medium; and a memory configured to store information on priority color settings including plural priority colors and transfer orders of the plural developer images which are predetermined for the respective priority colors, wherein the image formation apparatus is configured, when one of the priority colors is selected, to transfer the plural developer images sequentially in the transfer order for the priority color setting of the selected priority color, wherein, when the arrangement order of the plurality of developer image formation units does not match the transfer order for the priority color setting of the selected priority color, the image formation apparatus is configured to convey the medium through the transfer device multiple times to form the multi-color developer image in accordance with the transfer order for the priority color setting of the selected priority color, wherein the image formation apparatus is configured to limit the number of times that the medium is conveyed through the transfer device to be not more than two.
