Image forming apparatus, method for controlling image forming apparatus, and system

摘要

In an image forming apparatus, when an instruction to supply power in a power-off state of the image forming apparatus is detected, control is performed such that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting from the power-off state to a standby state or is started by shifting from the power-off state to a sleep state based on transition setting information of a power supply state.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a processor; a retaining unit configured to retain transition information indicating that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting from a power-off state to a standby state or that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting from the power-off state to a sleep state; a failure detection unit configured to detect that a failure has occurred in the image forming apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether the transition information indicates that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting the power-off state to the sleep state, and whether the detected failure requires that the image forming apparatus shift to the standby state after being restarted; a changing unit configured to change, in a case where the determination unit determines that the transition information indicates that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting the power-off state to the sleep state, and that the detected failure requires that the image forming apparatus shift to the sleep state after being restarted, the transition information so that the transition information indicates that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting the power-off state to the standby state; a detection unit configured to detect an instruction to supply power in the power-off state of the image forming apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform control such that the image forming apparatus is started by shifting from the power-off state to the standby state or is started by shifting from the power-off state to the sleep state based on the transition information retained in the retaining unit when the detection unit detects the instruction to supply power to the image forming apparatus, wherein the processor implements the retaining unit, the failure detection unit, the determination unit, the changing unit, the detection unit, and the control unit.
