Information processing apparatus and control method for information processing apparatus for transitioning from one power state to another power state

An information processing apparatus including a non-volatile storage device equipped with a spindle motor, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a state controller configured to cause the information processing apparatus to transition to one of a first power state, in which electric power is supplied to the storage device, and a second power state, in which power consumption is lower than in the first power state and electric power is not supplied to at least the storage device;
• and
• a power controller configured to perform one of first control, which, in response to the information processing apparatus transitioning from the second power state to the first power state, together with supplying electric power to the storage device, drives the spindle motor, and second control, which, in response to the information processing apparatus transitioning from the second power state to the first power state, supplies electric power to the storage device while keeping the spindle motor stopped;
• wherein, when the information processing apparatus is in the second power state, the power controller performs the first control based on receiving a first request signal regarding a print job, and performs the second control based on receiving a second request signal regarding an inquiry.
