<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus that has a power saving mode, wherein an image forming apparatus and an image reading apparatus effectively perform switching of the power saving mode and a non-power saving mode. <P>SOLUTION: An MFP (Multi Functional Peripheral) 100 has the power saving mode and a ready mode (non-power saving mode) as a mode that controls the state of the power supply to the receiving part that receives a job. Moreover, the MFP 100 prepares at least two stopping conditions to switch from the non-power saving mode to the power saving mode. Among these, the second condition does not satisfy easily than the first condition. Then, when switched from the power saving mode to non-power saving mode, the MFP 100 changes the stopping condition from the first condition to the second condition. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
