A cartridge storing a recording agent includes an opening through which the stored recording agent is discharged, and a cover member closing the opening. Further, a non-contact IC tag that stores information concerning the cartridge is attached to the cartridge. An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit that communicates with the IC tag for transmitting and receiving information, and an actuator that operates on the basis of the information obtained by this communication. The operation for opening the cover member is controlled by this actuator.

There will be provided an image processing apparatus made available irrespective of the mechanism and the like of an output device to be connected thereto. A configuration control unit sets connection patterns and output systems of a first to a fourth output control units depending upon configuration, a connecting method and image data to be inputted of an output device. Also, a processing order control unit is interlocked with this configuration control unit, and constitutes data for each band from image data inputted so as to have sequence responsive to configuration of a first to a fourth rendering processors controlled by the configuration control unit. Thus, data for each band is controlled so as to be inputted into the first to fourth rendering processors in accordance with the processing order. In this way, it is possible to cope with any case where various output devices are connected.
