Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a sensor configured to detect an original, a nonvolatile storage that includes a semiconductor area, a setting unit configured to execute a setting for dividing the semiconductor area into a plurality of areas, and a controller configured to execute Trim processing on the divided areas in response to passing of a predetermined time period while the image forming apparatus is in a standby state. The controller is configured to stop the Trim processing based on a detection of the original detected by the sensor while the Trim processing is executed.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an object configured to detect an operation performed by a user;
- a nonvolatile storage that manages a semiconductor area, with the semiconductor area divided into a plurality of areas;
- and
- a controller capable of executing notification processing of notifying the storage of an areas where data having become unnecessary is stored among data stored in the semiconductor area,
- wherein the controller is configured to, in response to passing of a predetermined time period while the image forming apparatus is in a standby state, execute the notification processing on the plurality of areas divided out of the semiconductor area, and
- wherein the controller is configured to stop the notification processing based on detecting the operation by the object while the notification processing is executed.
A method of controlling an image forming apparatus that includes an object configured to detect an operation performed by a user, a nonvolatile storage that manages a semiconductor area, with the semiconductor area divided into a plurality of areas, the method comprising:
- causing a controller to execute notification processing of notifying the storage of an areas where data having become unnecessary is stored among data stored in the semiconductor area;
- causing the controller to, in response to passing of a predetermined time period while the image forming apparatus is in a standby state, execute the notification processing on the plurality of areas divided out of the semiconductor area;
- and
- causing the controller to stop the notification processing based on detecting the operation by the object while the notification processing is executed.
