ABSTRACT:
An easy-to-use image forming apparatus and method which uses either a monochrome recording cartridge or a plurality of colors recording cartridge, which, when recording an image desired by a user, does not require the user to perform unnecessary operations regarding replacement of a cartridge, change of the kind of recorded image, or selection of a form. A determination is made as to whether or not a correct cartridge is attached based on the kind of the currently attached cartridge and the image desired by the user. When it is determined that the correct cartridge is attached, recording is initiated. When it is determined that the correct cartridge is not attached, a notification prompting replacement is provided to the user. When the user instructs color reading or monochrome reading of the original, a recording operation is carried out by changing the size of the image to an appropriate size in response to the kind of recorder, original size and form size.
