Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprising:a main system of a facsimile machine, including at least one large scale integrated circuit, a subsystem having at least one large scale integrated circuit, a scanner system having at least one large scale integrated circuit, and a printer having at least one large scale integrated circuit; at least one large scale integrated circuit for executing image processing; a power supply unit for feeding electricity to the respective large scale integrated circuit; and a control unit for lowering operation capability of at least one of the large scale integrated circuits when canceling a normal power supply mode and shifting into a power save mode, wherein the control unit reduces a voltage to be fed to the subsystem and scanner system and stops feeding a voltage to the printer when shifting to the power save mode but does not reduce a voltage to be fed to the main system.
