<p>An image forming apparatus (10) includes a plurality of operation modes. An image reading section (60) reads image information from an original document. An image recording section (70) records the image information on a recording medium. An electric.power supply (50) supplies electric power to the image reading section and the image recording section. A controller (80) controls the electric power supply. When the image forming apparatus is operating in a first operation mode where the image recording section is involved, if the controller receives a new operation command that involves the image recording section, the controller drives the image recording section to operate in a second operation mode where the image forming apparatus operates at a lower speed than in the first operation mode.</p> |
