IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming system which can achieve a high power-saving effect in the image forming system in which an image forming apparatus having a human sensor and an image forming apparatus not having a human sensor are mixedly arranged.SOLUTION: In an image forming system in which a first image forming apparatus and a second image forming apparatus are communicably connected, a first control part of the first image forming apparatus causes the first image forming apparatus to shift from a stand-by mode to a power-saving mode on the basis of the fact that a human sensor provided to the first image forming apparatus does not detect a user of the first image forming apparatus and transmits to a second image forming apparatus a notification for causing the second image forming apparatus to shift from a stand-by mode to a power-saving mode. Upon receiving the notification, a second control part 5A of the second image forming apparatus causes the second image forming apparatus to shift from the stand-by mode to the power-saving mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
