<p>An image forming apparatus of the invention receives image data from a host apparatus (58) and performs an image forming operation. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion (80) for image formation, a power supply portion (81) for supplying power to the image forming portion, an input portion (9) for designating power interruption to the power supply portion (8), and a control portion (50) for interrupting supply of power to the image forming portion (80) when power interruption is designated by the input portion (9). When the image forming apparatus is not used for a long period of time, supply of power to the image forming portion (80) can be interrupted using the input portion (9), so that wasteful power consumption is prevented.</p> |
