Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus that is capable of operating in a first power mode and in a second power mode in which less power is consumed than in the first power mode, and that communicates at a second communication speed when the image processing apparatus operates in the second power mode, the image processing apparatus comprising: a determination unit configured to determine, when the image processing apparatus operating in the second power mode receives a packet, whether to shift the image processing apparatus to the first power mode with maintaining a communication speed at the second communication speed or to shift the image processing apparatus to the first power mode with changing the communication speed from the second communication speed to a first communication speed faster than the second communication speed, based on information included in a body part of the received packet; and a controlling unit configured to perform, in accordance with determination by the determination unit, any of first processing for shifting the image processing apparatus to the first power mode with maintaining the communication speed at the second communication speed, and second processing for shifting the image processing apparatus with changing the communication speed from the second communication speed to the first communication speed, wherein the image processing apparatus that has shifted to the first power mode by the first processing or the second processing performs processes the received packet, and at least in a case where the information included in the body part of the received packet indicates IPP printing, the determination unit determines to shift the image processing apparatus to the first power mode with changing the communication speed from the second communication speed to the first communication speed.
