Abstract
When a power state of an image forming apparatus is switched to a sleep state based on occurrence of an event, during a predetermined period after the occurrence of the event, the image forming apparatus does not return from the sleep state in a case where a return-from-sleep event corresponding to pressing a touch panel or pressing a key occurs, and returns from the sleep state in a case where a return-from-sleep event corresponding to an event other than pressing the touch panel and pressing the key occurs.
Claims6
An image forming apparatus configured to switch between a first power state and a second power state that is lower in power consumption than the first power state, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers configured to:
- switch a power state of the image forming apparatus based on occurrence of an event,
- wherein, when the power state of the image forming apparatus is switched to the second power state based on occurrence of an event, during a predetermined period after the occurrence of the event, the power state is not switched to the first power state in a case where a specific event corresponding to switching to the first power state occurs, and the power state is switched to the first power state in a case where an event corresponding to switching to the first power state and different from the specific event occurs.
A control method for an image forming apparatus configured to switch between a first power state and a second power state that is lower in power consumption than the first power state, the control method comprising:
- controlling switching of a power state of the image forming apparatus based on occurrence of an event,
- wherein, when the power state of the image forming apparatus is switched to the second power state based on occurrence of an event, during a predetermined period after the occurrence of the event, the power state is not switched to the first power state in a case where a specific event corresponding to switching to the first power state occurs, and the power state is switched to the first power state in a case where an event corresponding to switching to the first power state and different from the specific event occurs.
