Abstract
An image forming apparatus has a plurality of device modules for executing predetermined functions; and a control module for controlling operation of the device modules. The control module comprises an initialization section for establishing a link; a master data transfer section for transferring data to a device module; and a link checking section for checking the state of the link. When a request for data transfer to a first device module out of the plurality of device modules is made, the link checking section checks the state of the link between the control module and the first device module. When the state of the link checked is determined to be abnormal, the initialization section establishes the link between the control module and the first device module, and then the master data transfer section transfers the data requested to be transferred to the first device module.
