Abstract:
A technique that enables identification, based on history information and not depending on date/time information, of a toner cartridge used when an error occurred in an image forming apparatus is provided. A CPU of the image forming apparatus counts a cumulative number of print sheets from a time of factory shipment of the image forming apparatus. If replacement of a toner cartridge mounted to the image forming apparatus is performed, the CPU saves a cartridge replacement history that includes information relating to the toner cartridge after the replacement. If an error occurs in the image forming apparatus, the CPU saves an error history that includes the cumulative number of print sheets for when the error occurred. A cumulative number of print sheets for when the replacement was performed is included in the cartridge replacement history.

Claim (Index 8):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor executes instructions in the memory device to\n determine whether or not read and write with respect to a memory equipped by the container after the replacement are possible, and include, in the replacement history, state information indicating whether or not read and write with respect to the memory are possible.
