Image forming apparatus that changes to an image-formation ready mode from a power-save mode based on a frequency of use of the image forming apparatus by an external device |
摘要 |
An image forming apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an image forming unit which performs an image forming job, a communication unit which forms a wireless network according to a predetermined wireless communication standard, a control unit which, if at least one terminal device is connected to the communication unit through the wireless network, determines whether it is required to perform warming-up of the image forming apparatus and performs warming-up of the image forming apparatus, and a storage unit which stores information regarding a connection status of the terminal device. Accordingly, stand-by time for performing an image forming job may be reduced. |

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a connection unit to establish a communication connection with an external device; a condition analysis unit to determine whether a predetermined condition exists corresponding to a high likelihood that the image forming apparatus will receive an image forming request from the external device; and
a controller to control the image forming apparatus to change from a power-save mode to an image-formation ready mode when it is determined that the predetermined condition exists and based on a comparison of unique information of the external device with pre-stored unique information, wherein the predetermined condition includes a case in which a frequency of use exceeds a threshold value, wherein the frequency of use is a ratio of a number of times an image forming job is performed based on the request by the external device connected with the image forming apparatus to a number of times the external device is connected with the image forming apparatus. |
