Abstract

An image input/output apparatus reduces unnecessary fault management processing load and prevents a normal image input/output processing efficiency from decreasing in the way that an administrator selects an intrinsic fault that should be emphasized among individually-occurring detectable faults. To accomplish this, when a history representing a state of control is stored as log information in a first storage, a fault is detected, and an occurrence frequency of the detected fault is stored in a second storage in a way that associates the fault occurrence frequency with the fault. One or more thresholds of the fault occurrence frequency are enabled to be set, and it is judged whether the fault occurrence frequency is equal to or larger than the threshold. Based on a result of the judgment, a log management unit controls storage setting of the log information associated with the fault into the first storage.
