<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the deterioration or puncture of a circuit element on a control circuit that may be caused to occur by a current that flows even in a stand-by state, and to cut power consumption dependably. <P>SOLUTION: In an image-forming apparatus that operates on the supply of at least two different power source voltages for a drive system and a control system, a high-voltage power supply unit 201 receives the drive system voltage to operate according to a control signal. A CPU 202 operates on the control system voltage, outputs a control signal to the high-voltage power supply unit 201 and controls the operations of the power supply unit 201 by outputting the control signal to the power supply unit 201. In supplying or interrupting the drive system power to the power supply unit 201 by a relay 203, a voltage level of the control signal is caused to change to a ground level when the relay 203 interrupts the supply of the drive system voltage. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
