Abstract

A status notification register storing a state of a function executing section is arranged for each function executing section. The function executing section includes at least one circuit for performing a predetermined function. By determining one of two values set in the status notification register, a power failure occurring in a functional unit is identified and an initial setting process is performed to an identified location when power is restored.
