An image forming apparatus operable in a first power mode and a second power mode. The image forming apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus, a control unit configured to be communicably connected to the communication unit to process data transmitted from the communication unit, and a power control unit configured to control power supply to the communication unit. While the image forming apparatus is in the first power mode where power is supplied to the control unit and the communication unit, the control unit determines whether to shift the image forming apparatus to the second power mode, based on a communication state between the communication unit and the external apparatus. The power control unit performs control to stop power supply to the communication unit based on the determination made by the control unit, and shifts the image forming apparatus to the second power mode.
An image forming apparatus operable in a first power mode and a second power mode, the apparatus comprising:
An image forming apparatus operable in a first power mode and a second power mode, the apparatus comprising:
A control method of an image forming apparatus operable in a first power mode and a second power mode, the method comprising:
