<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the time necessary for initialization by executing the initializations of devices concerning to the formation of images by combining a plurality of processing means within the ranges of a limiting condition in an image forming system including a plurality of the processing means concerning to the formation of images. <P>SOLUTION: The controlling of the combination of devices to be initialized is performed within the range being less than the allowable power condition. For example, the initialization D of one device and the initialization B of another device are simultaneously performed under the condition that the sum of the consumed powers for both the initializations is less than the power condition. Further, when the initialization D ends, an initialization A, the total consumed power of which is less than the power condition under the condition that its initialization is performed simultaneously with the initialization B, is selected. Thus, the period of time required for initialization within the limiting range of the capacity of power source can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
