ABSTRACT:
A consumable cartridge is attached to a mounting portion of a body of a color image forming apparatus and holds a predetermined color developer. The consumable cartridge may take a process cartridge that includes a recording device and a controller. The recording device stores information on the consumable cartridge, the information including at least color information of the color developer. The controller transmits the information to the body of the image forming apparatus. The controller detects whether the consumable cartridge has been attached to the color image forming section. The controller compares the information on the body of image forming apparatus with the information on the consumable cartridge to determine whether the consumable cartridge has been misplaced. If the consumable cartridge has been misplaced, the controller indicates to an operator that the consumable cartridge has been misplaced.
