Abstract
An image forming apparatus capable of appropriately controlling power supplies to respective parts thereof when the apparatus is remotely started over a network. When receiving data from an external apparatus via the network, a controller of the image forming apparatus decides power supplied object, among a plurality of power supplied objects of the image forming apparatus, to which power supply is to be started at startup of the apparatus, and controls such that power supply to the decided power supplied object is started.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus including a plurality of power supplied objects and being communicatable with an external apparatus, comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive, from the external apparatus, data that indicates power supply control to be performed on the plurality of power supplied objects at startup of the image forming apparatus;
- a decision unit configured, based on the data received by said reception unit, to decide power supplied object, among the plurality of power supplied objects, to which power supply is to be started at startup of the image forming apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to control such that power supply to the power supplied object decided by said decision unit is started at startup of the image forming apparatus.
A control method for an image forming apparatus including a plurality of power supplied objects and being communicatable with an external apparatus via a network, comprising:
- a reception step of receiving, from the external apparatus, data that indicates power supply control to be performed on the plurality of power supplied objects at startup of the image forming apparatus;
- a decision step, based on the data received in said reception step, of deciding power supplied object, among the plurality of power supplied objects, to which power supply is to be started at startup of the image forming apparatus;
- and
- a control step of controlling such that power supply to the power supplied object decided in said decision step is started at startup of the image forming apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image forming apparatus including a plurality of power supplied objects and being communicatable with an external apparatus via a network, the control method comprising:
- a reception step of receiving, from the external apparatus, data that indicates power supply control to be performed on the plurality of power supplied objects at startup of the image forming apparatus;
- a decision step, based on the data received in said reception step, of deciding power supplied object, among the plurality of power supplied objects, to which power supply is to be started at startup of the image forming apparatus;
- and
- a control step of controlling such that power supply to the power supplied object decided in said decision step is started at startup of the image forming apparatus.
