An image forming apparatus is equipped with a print unit, a recording medium, a recording medium controller, and a power-saving controller. The print unit performs a printing operation. The recording medium temporarily stores an image and information. The recording medium controller controls the recording medium. The power-saving controller supplied independently with power controls a power-saving function of the image forming apparatus, and independently returns functions of the image forming apparatus from a power-saving state to a normal power state. Furthermore, the power-saving controller returns the print unit and the recording medium controller from the power-saving state to the normal power state when receiving data including a print request through the network unit. Alternatively, the power-saving controller returns the recording medium controller from the power-saving state to the normal power state when receiving data including an access request to the recording medium through the network unit.
