  • Publication number: 20200366795
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an attachment member, an information obtaining device, a storage device, an image forming device, a display, and a control device. The control device obtains, by using a second conversion method, first destination information from identification information and first information. The identification information and first information are obtained by the information obtaining device from a storage medium mounted on a part attached to an apparatus body through the attachment member. When the obtained first destination information does not coincide with second destination information stored in the storage device, the control device causes the display to display a warning message showing that an improper part is attached.

  • Patent number: 10728211
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that possibly registers a domain name, an IP address, and identification information on the electronic apparatus itself with a DNS server, which includes a communication unit and a processing unit. When the domain name of the electronic apparatus is registered with the DNS server, the processing unit makes an acquisition request for identification information that is associated with the domain name of the electronic apparatus. In a case where the acquired identification information is not the same as the identification information on the electronic apparatus, the processing unit changes the domain name, and performs processing that registers the IP address and the identification information with the DNS server in a state of being associated with a post-change domain name.
