  • Patent number: 8631263
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus decreases power supply to a processing unit if a predetermined condition is satisfied. If a waiting time has elapsed during a power saving state in which power supply to the processing unit is decreased, the information processing apparatus cancels the power saving state. The information processing apparatus executes a head retraction in response to the cancellation of the power saving state. The information processing apparatus stops power supply to the storage unit in response to completion of the head retraction.

  • Publication number: 20130346770
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that is capable of being instructed to power off, by a power switch or a command from an external apparatus, and is capable of executing the restart thereof under appropriate conditions. When power-off is instructed, shutdown is started. Upon completion of the shutdown, if the power switch is on, and at the same time the power-off has been instructed by the power switch of the apparatus, the restart of the apparatus is executed, whereas upon completion of the shutdown, if the power-off has been instructed by a command from the external apparatus, the restart of the apparatus is not executed.

  • Publication number: 20120320402
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of shifting to a state where quick activation thereof can be performed in a shorter time period when a power switch is turned off. When the off operation of the power switch is detected, a first state is stored, and when the on operation of the power switch is detected next, the state of the image forming apparatus is shifted to a second state from which the image forming apparatus can return to the first state. When the state of the image forming apparatus is shifted to the second state, time starts to be measured. When the on operation of the power switch is detected in the second state, the value of the measured time is acquired. The image forming apparatus is caused to return to the stored first state depending on the value of the measured time.
