<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve ease of operation by recovering from an energy saving state without requiring any new selection means. <P>SOLUTION: When a signal from an operation panel 2a is detected (S101), "0" is set to a counter value (S102) and a timer is started (S103). When a signal is further detected within a time t1 (S104:Yes), "1" is added to the counter value (S105), the timer is reset (S106) and the timer is started again (S103). when any signal is not detected within the time t1 in S104 (S104:No), at the same time, a register value is determined in accordance with the correspondence table of counter values (S107), and further, after the register value is set (S108), a recovery signal from a power saving state is output (S109). On the basis of the recovery signal, an ASIC recovers an image processing apparatus from the power saving state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
