Abstract

In an image forming apparatus, an image forming unit can be replaced. An outer cover becomes in an open status when the image forming unit is replaced. An inner cover becomes in an open status with a manual operation with taking a predetermined time after the outer cover becomes in an open status when the image forming unit is replaced. A cover open/close sensor detects open and close statuses of the outer cover. The image forming unit includes a non-volatile unit memory. Further, the controller (a) performs data communication with the unit memory, and (b) if data communication with the unit memory is ongoing when the cover open/close sensor detects that the outer cover becomes in an open status, completes the data communication and cuts off power supply to the image forming unit before the predetermined time elapses.
