Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005003894
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for guiding maintenance operation while catching the status of an apparatus unit at real time.
Operation energy for driving a sensor to detect the state of the apparatus unit provided on the outside of an image forming apparatus is generated for the apparatus unit and is radio-transmitted to the apparatus unit (S307). The detected result of the sensor driven with the operation energy is radio-received (S308), so that information for guiding the maintenance operation of the apparatus unit is displayed and controlled based on the detected result radio-received (S309 and S310).
