Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a developer, a development device, and an image bearing member. The developer includes an initial developer containing an initial carrier and a replenishment developer containing a replenishment carrier. The initial carrier has a surface roughness Sa1 of at least 0.3 ?m and no greater than 1.0 ?m. A ratio Sa1/Sa2 of the surface roughness Sa1 of the initial carrier to a surface roughness Sa2 of the replenishment carrier is at least 1.2 and no greater than 3.4. The packing volume Vp calculated from equation (1)“Vp=100×Y/(Z×DS)” was at least 40% and no greater than 70%. In equation (1), Y represents an amount of the developer conveyed by a developer bearing member. Z represents an apparent density of the initial developer. DS represents a width of a space between the developer bearing member and the image bearing member.

Abstract: A method implemented by a computer including a plurality of components, each of the plurality of components including a processor configured to output an error notification after detecting an error, the method includes: executing a first processing when the error notification is received from an error detected processor, the first processing including specifying an error component by analyzing error information from the error detected processor; executing a second processing to issue a request for active exchange when another component able to be actively exchanged with the error component exists; executing a third processing to issue instructions in response to detecting that the operating system is alive after the issuing of the request, the instructions including a deletion instruction and an addition instruction, the deletion instruction being configured to execute active deletion processing of the error component, the addition instruction being configured to execute active addition processing of the othe

Abstract: A storage unit stores management information including information indicative of a correspondence relation between a plurality of devices and a plurality of peripheral devices and information indicative of a correspondence relation between identification information assigned to a peripheral device by a device and a position of the peripheral device. Upon receipt, from the device, of a notification that identification information of any peripheral device has been changed, a computation unit updates the management information in accordance with the content of the change. Upon acquisition of identification information of a target peripheral device from any device when the device outputs a log regarding the peripheral device, the computation unit provides the device with information indicative of a position of the peripheral device with reference to the management information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a degeneration control unit and a re-synchronization processing instructing unit. The degeneration control unit degenerates, of a first controller group including a first controller and a second controller group including a second controller, the second control device group when the first and second controller performing a synchronization operation with each other detect occurrence of errors. The re-synchronization processing instructing unit instructs a controller included in the first controller group to execute re-synchronization processing. When another controller different from the first controller receives the instruction for the execution of the re-synchronization processing, the another controller performs interrupt mask setting.
