PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably avoid such a situation that electric power-saving control is started, until a stable condition of an image forming apparatus at the time of a standby mode is completed. SOLUTION: When a DC controller sets a delay time during which a timing of starting monitor for a printing request is delayed until the lapse of a predetermined period of a temperature rise time set to a fixing device 9, the DC controller 6 and a mechanical controller 7 start different electric power-saving control operations for respective power loads (the fixing device 9, an external fan 12, a power source controlling circuit 15, etc.) on the basis of respective electric power-saving control signals after the lapse of the preset delay time. |
