PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation apparatus capable of preventing power consumption from being increased by a plurality of image formation apparatuses returning to a normal mode.SOLUTION: An image formation system cancels a power-saving mode of an image formation apparatus and places the image formation apparatus in a normal mode when detecting that a person enters a second detection area. When the image formation system determines that a person enters an overlapping area where the second detection areas of a plurality of image formation apparatuses, which are also set in the power-saving mode, are overlapped, the image formation system changes the power-saving mode of any one of the plurality of image formation apparatuses to the normal mode according to the priority in use of the image forming apparatuses and holds the image forming apparatuses other than the one changed to the normal mode in the power saving mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
