Abstract:
1. An apparatus for transmitting job data to a terminal, comprising: a generation unit configured to generate the job data; an instruction unit configured to transmit, when the terminal is in an energy saving mode, to the terminal an instruction for causing the terminal to shift from the energy saving mode to a normal mode in which the terminal device can process the job data; a storage unit configured to store information on a time period required for the terminal to shift from the energy saving mode to the normal mode after the instruction has been transmitted from said instruction unit; and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not it is timing for transmitting the instruction, based on a time period required for said generation unit to generate the job data, and the time period indicated by the information stored in said storage unit; wherein said instruction unit transmits the instruction to the terminal in the case where said determination unit determines that it is the timing for transmitting the instruction.
