Abstract
An image processing apparatus capable of shifting to a power saving mode. The image processing apparatus includes a storing unit configured to store a document in a storage device, a notification unit configured to periodically notify an apparatus of a predetermined destination of information about a document that has been newly stored by the storing unit into the storage device, and a control unit configured to restrict shifting to a power saving mode in which the notification unit cannot make the notification after storage of a document by the storing unit has been completed and until the notification unit notifies at least information about the document.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store a document in a storage device;
- a notification unit configured to issue a notification, at a predetermined timing, to a predetermined destination concerning a storage location of a document newly stored in the storage device by the storing unit;
- a power supply unit configured to supply electric power to the notification unit in a normal power mode or in a power saving mode that supplies power lower than that in the normal power mode;
- and
- a control unit configured to restrict shifting from the normal power mode to the power saving mode until the notification unit has completed issuance of the notification to the predetermined destination.
A control method for an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- storing a document in a storage device;
- issuing a notification using a notification unit, at a predetermined timing, to a predetermined destination concerning a storage location of a document newly stored in the storage device;
- supplying power in a normal power mode to supply power to the notification unit or in a power saving mode to supply power to the notification unit at a reduced level of power lower than in the normal power supply mode;
- and
- controlling power supply to the notification unit to restrict shifting from the normal power mode to the power saving mode until issuance of the notification by the notification unit to the predetermined destination has been completed.
