Embodiment Construction

[0024] An image forming apparatus according to an embodiment is an image forming apparatus having a plurality of power modes with different power consumptions, and includes an estimated value storage unit, an operation time accumulation unit, and a power consumption output unit. The expected value storage unit stores an expected value of power consumption preset for each power mode. The operation time accumulation unit accumulates the operation time for each power mode. The power consumption output unit outputs the actual result of power consumption for each power mode based on the stored estimated value and the accumulated operating time.

[0025] Hereinafter, an image forming apparatus, a power consumption management system, a method of controlling an image apparatus, and a recording medium according to embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same part.

Abstract

The invention provides an Image forming apparatus, a power consumption management system, a control method, and a recording medium. The image forming apparatus has a plurality of power modes which have different degrees of power consumption, and comprises an expected value storage unit, an operation time accumulation unit, and a power consumption output unit. The expected value storage unit storesan expected value of preset power consumption for each power mode. The operation time accumulation unit accumulates the operation time for each power mode. The power consumption output unit outputs the actual result of the power consumption for each power mode according to the stored expected value and the accumulated operation time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming device, a power consumption management system, a control method and a recording medium. Background technique [0002] In recent years, from the viewpoint of energy saving (energy saving), a TEC (Typical Electricity Consumption, thermal energy converter) value is used as the energy saving performance of an image forming apparatus. The TEC value refers to the "conceptual power consumption (kWh) of 1 week (5 days of repeated operation state and sleep / off state + 2 days of sleep / off state)" of office equipment. [0003] Conventionally, the power consumption of an image forming apparatus has been calculated from the number of printed sheets based on the TEC value. The power consumption of the image forming apparatus is calculated, for example, by a program executed by a computer connected to the image forming apparatus via a network. This program obtains the number of printed sheets from the image forming ...
