Image forming apparatus, method for controlling the same, and recording medium

A method for controlling a printing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing control, based on a detection result of a human sensor, so that power is supplied to a predetermined device without lighting up a display unit;
• lighting up the display unit based on a detection result of a touch sensor;
• and
• driving a predetermined device of a printing unit, based on a predetermined user operation for a predetermined screen displayed on the display unit.

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a printing unit;
• a display unit;
• a user operation detection unit which detects a predetermined user operation on the display unit;
• a human body detection unit which detects a human;
• and
• a power control unit which shifts a power state of the printing apparatus from a first power state into a second power state on a basis of a detection result of the human body detection unit and shifts the power state of the printing apparatus from the second power state into a third power state on a basis of a detection result of the user operation detection unit, wherein the first power state is a state in which the display unit is off and power supply to a predetermined device is stopped, wherein the second power state is a state in which the display unit remains off and power is supplied to the predetermined device, and wherein the third power state is a state in which at least the display unit is on.
