ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus in which program objects represented in byte codes can be loaded, the program objects providing services for image forming processing, the apparatus including: (a) a hardware resource unit including at least one of a printing unit and an image pickup unit; and (b) a memory unit configured to store an operating system, an interpreter which runs on the operating system and interprets the program objects represented in byte codes, a driver program for controlling image forming processing. and the program objects represented in byte codes, wherein the program objects stored in the memory unit perform a message communication, wherein the driver program operates the hardware resource unit, and wherein function programs each having an API (Application Programming Interface) are (a) defined between the program objects and the driver program. (b) used commonly by the program objects, and (c) interpreted by the interpreter.
