IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An image forming apparatus, and a method of controlling it. The apparatus performs, in a case where at least one function out of a plurality of functions of the apparatus ceases to be usable, degeneracy control for operating to provide functions other than the at least one function, and stores information indicating a degeneracy control state is entered. The apparatus controls so as to activate without initialization operation of an image forming mechanism in a case where it is determined that the activation is due to the return from a power saving mode and the information is stored and so as to activate with the initialization operation when the activation is due to a power of the apparatus being turned on.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet; a control unit configured to control operation of the image forming unit; and a storage unit configured to store information indicating that a function of the image forming unit is restricted, wherein the control unit: (A) does not execute an initialization operation of the image forming unit in a case where the storage unit stores the information and the image forming apparatus activates from a power saving state in which an electric power supply to the control unit is stopped, (B) does execute the initialization operation of the image forming unit in a case where the storage unit does not store the information and the image forming apparatus activates from the power saving state.
