When an accepting unit is removed from a main unit, a situation of the main unit is detected whether belonging to waiting situations, operation situations, malfunction situations, or the like. A display part then displays images in accordance with the detected situations. The display part is arranged on the accepting unit that is removable from the main unit. Therefore, it is possible to change images displayed on the display part in accordance with the situations of the main unit at the time when the accepting unit is removed.
