Image forming device acting in action manner corresponding to granted permission

Abstract

The invention provides an image forming device which is capable of performing action by switching common action modes and adjusting modes used for adjusting or examining all parts of the device. The image forming device performs function setting relating to action manners of hardware so as to use the hardware in an action manner corresponding to a granted permission. When an action mode is set into an adjusting mode, the image forming device receives an instruction of the function setting relating to the action manners of the hardware. Based on the accepted instruction, the image forming device uses the hardware to execute action adjustment in an action manner corresponding to a temporary function setting which is different from the function setting carried out by a permanent setting part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus, and more particularly, to an image forming apparatus operating in an operation mode corresponding to granted permission. Background technique [0002] The image forming apparatus includes an MFP (Multi Function Peripheral) including a scanner function, a facsimile function, a copy function, a printer function, a data communication function, and a server function, a facsimile apparatus, a copier, a printer, and the like. [0003] In such an image forming apparatus, the quality of a printed image is judged by, for example, the following method. [0004] Document 1 below describes an image forming apparatus that prints built-in reference image data, reads the image, checks image deterioration, and displays the result. In this image forming apparatus, by performing such operations, the burden on service technicians can be reduced. [0005] The following document 2 discloses a printing system th...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, when the substrate of the image forming apparatus is replaced by maintenance work, the model recognized by the main body of the image forming apparatus is different from the model set in the replaced substrate, and errors such as abnormal model codes may occur.

[0027] Furthermore, there is a problem that special and complicated processing is required in the case of adopting a report system that automatically performs accounting processing etc.
