Image forming apparatus

Abstract

To secure a period necessary for memory saving of data regardless of a state of an action of a load at the time of slow down of a power source.SOLUTION: An image formation apparatus comprises: a first stabilization circuit which converts voltage from a power source into a first DC voltage to output the same; a second stabilization circuit which converts the voltage from the power source into a second DC voltage smaller than the first DC voltage to output the same; a load which performs an action related to image formation with the first stabilization circuit as the power source; a monitoring voltage acquisition circuit which acquires the output voltage of the first stabilization circuit; a non-volatile memory which performs reading / writing of data with the second stabilization circuit as the power source; and a control unit which controls the action of the load with the second stabilization circuit as the power source and writes the data related to the control into the non-volatile memory when it is determined that the output voltage acquired by the monitoring voltage acquisition circuit is the voltage equal to or less than a threshold. The control unit performs determination by using different thresholds according to the state of the action related to image formation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
