Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus including a first power supply state configured to supply power to a part of the image forming apparatus, a second power supply state configured to stop supplying power to the part of the image forming apparatus and to receive data from an external device via a network, and a third power supply state configured to stop supplying power to the part of the image forming apparatus and not to receive data from the external device via the network, the image forming apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive a first type job and a second type job that is different from the first type job; a storage unit configured to store a first number of times of first type jobs received when the image forming apparatus is in the first power supply state and a second number of times of second type jobs received when the image forming apparatus is in the first power supply state; a determination unit configured to determine whether the image forming apparatus is shifted from the first power supply state to the second power supply state, or from the first power supply state to the third power supply state based on the first number of times and the second number of times stored in the storage unit; and a control unit configured to shift the image forming apparatus from the first power supply state to the second power supply state in a case where the determination unit determines that the image forming apparatus is shifted from the first power supply state to the second power supply state, and shift the image forming apparatus from the first power supply state to the third power supply state in a case where the determination unit determines that the image forming apparatus is shifted from the first power supply state to the third power supply state.
