Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording medium and a controller that switches an operation state of the image forming portion between a first power mode in which the image forming portion operates normally and a second power mode in which the image forming portion operates with lower power consumption than when the image forming portion operates in the first power mode. The controller changes, depending on a type of a control performed by a user on the apparatus, a transition period after which the operation state is switched from the first power mode to the second power mode.
