<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a plurality of image forming apparatuses to simultaneously perform processing of shutting off power sources in a dispersion method. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a means informing other image forming apparatuses of the fact that the power source is shut off, when the shutting off of the power source is operated; a detection means detecting that the shutting off of the power source is operated in other image forming apparatuses; and a means starting shutting off processing of the power source of a self apparatus, when the detection is performed. When it is detected that the shutting off of the power source is operated in other image forming apparatuses, shutting off processing of the power source of the self apparatus is started. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
