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