Problems solved by technology

However, when the image forming device is installed far away or on a different floor, the operation becomes complicated
Also, since multiple machines have to be managed at the same time, there is a high risk of forgetting to turn off the power of some image forming devices

Embodiment Construction

[0010] Hereinafter, this embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] refer to figure 1 , the power management system of this embodiment has a plurality of image forming apparatuses 10 connected to a network 1 such as a LAN, and a server 30 connected to the network 1 . Also, in this embodiment, three image forming apparatuses 10 are connected: "device A" with a device code "00A", "device B" with a device code "00B", and "device C" with a device code "00C". on network 1.

[0012] The image forming apparatus 10 is a multifunction peripheral (MFP) having a copy function, a scan function, a facsimile function, a network communication function, and the like. refer to figure 2 The image forming apparatus 10 has an operation unit 11, a communication unit 12, a document reading unit 13, a storage unit 14, an image processing unit 15, a printing unit 16, a facsimile transceiver unit 17, a power switch 18, a power control unit 19 and a control u...

Abstract

The invention provides a power supply management system including an off-operation register configured to hold a situation of reception of an off-operation of a power supply and a power control unit configured to turn off the power supply upon receiving a power-off request from a server via a network. The server includes a server control unit that serves as an off-operation situation grasping unit for grasping, via the network, the situation of reception of the off-operation held in the off-operation register and serves as a power-off request transmitting unit for transmitting the power-off request via the network to the entire image forming devices belonging to a group in which the entire image forming devices have received the off-operation. Accordingly, power supplies of multiple connected image forming devices can be co-managed.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology of the present invention relates to a power management system that manages the power of a plurality of image forming apparatuses connected to a network. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a plurality of image forming apparatuses such as copiers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs) are connected via a network. By connecting a plurality of image forming apparatuses with a network, a large amount of processing can be executed in association with the plurality of image forming apparatuses. Furthermore, as a link between a plurality of image forming apparatuses, document data stored in a document box of an image forming apparatus can be referred to and printed from another image forming apparatus. [0003] However, in order to reduce power consumption, once the power of the image forming apparatus is turned off together with the communication unit connected to the network, it becomes impossible to recognize it from other image f...
