There is provided an image forming apparatus includes: a first electric-power supply path, through which electric power is supplied from a commercial electric power supply to the apparatus when the first electric-power supply path is in closed state; a second electric-power supply path, through which electric power is supplied from the commercial electric power supply to the apparatus when, at least, a detecting unit has detected that the first electric-power supply path is in the open state; and a plurality of drive-voltage generating units, each of which converts a voltage fed from the electric power supply through any one of the first electric-power supply path and the second electric-power supply path into a predetermined drive voltage; a plurality of systems, to each of which the drive voltage converted by a corresponding one drive-voltage generating unit of the drive-voltage generating units is fed.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
An image forming method in an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus that includes a first electric-power supply path, through which electric power is supplied from a commercial electric power supply to the apparatus when the first electric-power supply path is in closed state, a detecting unit that detects whether the first electric-power supply path is in open state or in the closed state, a second electric-power supply path, through which electric power is supplied from the commercial electric power supply to the apparatus when, at least, the detecting unit has detected that the first electric-power supply path is in the open state, a plurality of drive-voltage generating units, each of which converts a voltage fed from the electric power supply through any one of the first electric-power supply path and the second electric-power supply path into a predetermined drive voltage, and a plurality of systems, to each of which the drive voltage converted by a corresponding one drive-voltage generating unit of the drive-voltage generating units is fed, the image forming method comprising:
A computer program product comprising a computer-usable medium having computer-readable program codes embodied in the medium for controlling an image forming apparatus that includes a first electric-power supply path, through which electric power is supplied from a commercial electric power supply to the apparatus when the first electric-power supply path is in closed state, a detecting unit that detects whether the first electric-power supply path is in open state or in the closed state, a second electric-power supply path, through which electric power is supplied from the commercial electric power supply to the apparatus when, at least, the detecting unit has detected that the first electric-power supply path is in the open state, a plurality of drive-voltage generating units, each of which converts a voltage fed from the electric power supply through any one of the first electric-power supply path and the second electric-power supply path into a predetermined drive voltage, and a plurality of systems, to each of which the drive voltage converted by a corresponding one drive-voltage generating unit of the drive-voltage generating units is fed, the program codes when executed causing a computer to execute:
