<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the loss of a received signal when the signal reception by a reception part restarts power supply to a body control part. <P>SOLUTION: A printer 3 comprises the body control part 10 for centrally controlling an apparatus body, a power supply part 11 for supplying power to each block, a power control part 12 for controlling power supply from the power supply part 11 to the body control part 10, and a communication part 13 for executing external communication. The power control part 12 normally executes power supply to the body control part 10, interrupts it when a given condition is met, and restarts it when the communication part 13 receives an external signal during the interruption. The body control part 10 executes starting processing upon power supply. The communication part 13 normally executes initialization processing based on the starting processing of the body control part 10, and does not execute it if receiving an external signal during the interruption of power supply to the body control part 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
