Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a display device, a gesture sensor, and a control device. The control device functions as a controller. When the gesture sensor detects a first gesture, the controller sets the image forming apparatus to a suspend mode and starts counting a first time. When the first time reaches a first threshold value, the controller sets the image forming apparatus to a waiting mode and allows the display device to display a notification indicating the waiting mode. When the gesture sensor detects a second gesture while the notification is displayed, the controller starts counting a second time. When the second time reaches a second threshold value, the controller turns off power of the image forming apparatus.
Claims10
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a display device;
- a gesture sensor that detects a gesture of a user;
- and
- a control device including a processor and, upon operation of the processor in accordance with a control program, functioning as a controller that,
- (i) upon detection of a predetermined first gesture by the gesture sensor, sets the image forming apparatus to a suspend mode for suspending transition to a waiting mode for waiting for acceptance of an instruction to turn off power based on a gesture and starts counting a first time,
- (ii) upon reaching of the first time to a predetermined first threshold value, sets the image forming apparatus to the waiting mode and allows the display device to display a notification indicating the waiting mode,
- (iii) upon detection of a predetermined second gesture by the gesture sensor during display of the notification on the display device, starts counting a second time, and
- (iv) upon reaching of the second time to a predetermined second threshold value, turns off the power of the image forming apparatus.
