Abstract:
1. A reuse method for reusing a reusable device and a sensor of a first image forming apparatus having a first process linear velocity in a second image forming apparatus having at least one second process linear velocity different from the first process linear velocity, the method comprising: installing the reusable device and the sensor in the first image forming apparatus; measuring output of the sensor at the second process linear velocity of the second image forming apparatus when the first image forming apparatus switches from the first process linear velocity to the second process linear velocity of the second image forming apparatus in an initial state before starting to use the reusable device; storing information on the output of the sensor at a second process linear velocity of the second image forming apparatus; removing the reusable device and the sensor from the first image forming apparatus and installing the reusable device and the sensor in the second image forming apparatus; reading the stored information; and adjusting the output of the sensor to correspond to the second process linear velocity of the second image forming apparatus based on the read information.
