Function providing apparatus and computer readable medium

A function providing apparatus comprising:

• a first reading unit that reads a first control program relating to a first function which is provided by using a particular device into a memory which serves as a work area of a processor;
• a second reading unit that reads a second control program relating to a second function which is provided by data processing without using the particular device into the memory;
• a first initializing unit that causes the processor to initialize the first control program stored in the memory;
• a second initializing unit that causes the processor to initialize the second control program stored in the memory;
• a first receiving unit that receives a first instruction to supply power to a given section that is used to operate the first reading unit, the second reading unit, and the second initializing unit;
• a second receiving unit that receives a second instruction to make a transition to an ordinary state in which power is supplied to the function providing apparatus including the particular device;
• and
• a control unit that performs controls so as to cause the first reading unit to read the first control program and cause the second reading unit and the second initializing unit to read and initialize the second control program, respectively, in response to reception of the first instruction by the first receiving unit, then establish a power saving state in which supply of power to the memory is continued, and make a transition from the power saving state to the ordinary state to render the second function executable in response to reception of the second instruction by the second receiving unit in the power saving state.
