Abstract:
1. An image reproduction apparatus comprising: a power control unit which detects whether an error has occurred in supplying power to the image reproduction apparatus while the image reproduction apparatus is in a suspended mode and which is configured to set a flag to a predetermined value if the error is detected; and a booting control unit which selectively performs cold-booting of the image reproduction apparatus based on the set flag, wherein in response to receiving a power-on signal with respect to the image reproduction apparatus from an outside in the suspended mode, the booting control unit determines to perform the cold-booting of the image reproduction apparatus without trying to resume operations of the image reproduction apparatus if the flag has been set while in the suspended mode, by the power control unit, to the predetermined value indicating that the error has been detected in the suspended mode, wherein if the flag is not set to the predetermined value, the image reproduction apparatus tries to resume operations and boot an image when the power-on signal is received, and wherein the booting control unit aborts the resumption of operation and cold-boots the image reproduction apparatus if the booting control unit fails to receive the signal indicating that the image reproduction apparatus resumed the operations within a predetermined period of time.
