Abstract

The invention discloses a developing agent quantity display control system, comprising: a first container, a second container, a detecting unit and a control unit. The second container is replaceable, for containing the toner to be applied to the first container. The detecting unit detects the quantity of the developing agent contained in the second container. The control unit controls the detecting unit to detect the residue quantity of the developing agent in the second container, and the residue quantity does not comprise the reduced quantity of the developing agent when the developing agent in the second container is applied into the first container for the first time. The control unit controls the display unit to display information indicating that the residue quantity of the second container is full in spite of the quantity of the reduce developing agent when the developing agent in the second container is applied into the first container for the first time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a color developer (developer) amount display system, an image forming apparatus, an image forming system, and an information processing method for controlling the image forming system. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as an example of an image forming apparatus such as a laser printer and an inkjet printer, there is known an image forming apparatus in which a color developer such as toner or ink is contained in a container that It is detachably installed in the image forming apparatus, and when the developer contained in the currently installed container is used up, the container can be replaced with a new one. For example, see the following patent documents: [0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-357945 [0004] [Patent Document 2] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H05-127522 [0005] [Patent Document 3] Japanese Unexamined Patent Ap...
