ABSTRACT:
When some trouble occurs to a facsimile apparatus1that reads component-identification information of an ink ribbon cartridge60and it is impossible to read the component-identification information even if the ink ribbon cartridge60is a standard product, a permanent release mode is set to permanently prohibit an identification information reading processing (S24). On the other hand, when any trouble does not occur to the facsimile apparatus1but some trouble occurs to the ink ribbon cartridge60, it is impossible to read the component-identification information so long as the ink ribbon cartridge60is used. Therefore, a temporary release mode is set to temporarily prohibit the identification information reading processing (S24). Accordingly, it becomes possible to reduce an economical burden on a user and to perform a printing operation with favorable printing quality.
