Image forming apparatus, storage medium, and image forming method

Abstract

An image forming apparatus, a storage medium, and an image forming method are characterized in that the image forming apparatus includes: a unit group including a specific unit provided with a specific member that performs an operation required for notification of paper remaining on a placement surface; and a processor that controls power supply to the cell group when a recovery event is recovered from a sleep state, the processor performing first control of supplying power to a predetermined power supply end corresponding to the recovery event when a transition to the sleep state is made and when there is no sheet on the placement surface, and when the recovery is performed, the processor performing second control for supplying power to the specific unit even if the specific unit is not included in the predetermined power supply end of the unit group when a transition to the sleep state is made and when there is a sheet on the placement surface, and when the recovery is performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image forming device, a storage medium and an image forming method. Background technique [0002] There is known an image forming apparatus including a light emitter that supports handling of paper on which an image has been formed. By lighting the light emitter, the user is notified of the ejection of paper or the presence of ejected paper. Alternatively, by lighting the light emitter, the discharged paper or its surroundings are illuminated. For example, a paper sensor is embedded in a loading surface such as a paper discharge tray, and the light emitter is turned on when the paper sensor detects paper. [0003] The image forming apparatus transitions to the sleep state due to an operation for power saving, a predetermined time elapsed after execution of the last job, and the like. In this case, generally, the power consumption of the image forming apparatus becomes a base level or a level based thereon. In the sleep s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It is necessary to supply power to a specific unit including a specific part in order to notify that there is paper remaining at the time of recovery, but this power supply cannot be guaranteed in the case of a partial recovery

When restoring, it is conceivable to uniformly supply power to a specific unit including a specific component regardless of the presence or absence of paper on the loading surface, but in this case, unnecessary power consumption will occur
