PURPOSE: To avoid various problems caused by a power saving mode. CONSTITUTION: A copyable standby period after the end of a copying operation is measured by a standby period measuring means A, and in the case the measured period continues for a fixed period without any operation of each key including a start key on a control part, a power supply to each part is stopped by a power supply stopping means B. Then, when a main switch is turned on later, an initialization processing such as the operation of forming a scanner home position, a variable power mirror position and a variable power lens position, an operation of cleaning a discharge electrode wire and a copying process including the process of exposing and electrostatically charging a photoreceptor is inhibited by an initialization processing inhibiting means C, then, the machine is immediately shifted to the copyable standby state. |
