Abstract

See full text

When an image forming apparatus satisfies a condition to shift it to a power saving state, if a specific function that needs to respond to an inquiry from an external apparatus within a predetermined time is set, a power control unit shifts the image forming apparatus to a first power saving state in which power is supplied to a control unit configured to respond to the inquiry, and if the specific function is not set, shifts the image forming apparatus to a second power saving state in which no power is supplied to the control unit.
