<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce consumption power by paying attention to a function necessary for processing of data. <P>SOLUTION: This image forming apparatus that receives a request of processing of data from a client device (step S1) judges a function of necessary for the processing of the data (step S2). When the function is of a normal mode, the processing of the data is continued (steps S3, S5). When the function is of a power save mode, the apparatus is restored to the normal mode, and then it performs the processing of the data (steps S3, S4, S5, S6). When the transition from the power save mode to the normal mode is failed, the processing of the data is not performed to be ended (steps S4, S6). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
