The version of each of the I/D, fuser unit and belt unit which are replaced periodically is determined whether it is new or previous according to whether the fuse in
it is conducting or out of conduction. When the fuse is conducting, the unit is decided that it is new. The "new" or "previous" judgment is performed at power-on
and at cover-close. The life counter of every new unit is reset and the "new" or "previous" judging purpose fuse in the unit is cut.
