An image forming apparatus includes a reading unit, a first control unit, a second control unit, and a power supply control unit. The reading unit reads authentication information including a card type and a user code. The first control unit determines, in a state where power is not being supplied to the second control unit, whether a card type included in the authentication information read by the reading unit corresponds to a predetermined card type. The second control unit requests an authentication apparatus to perform user authentication based on the authentication information read by the reading unit. The power supply control unit controls power supply to the second control unit. In response to the first control unit determining that the card type included in the authentication information read by the reading unit corresponds to the predetermined card type, the power supply control unit supplies power to the second control unit. |
