1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a receiving unit that receives information requesting data; a controlling unit that, in a normal mode, generates first response data after receiving the information requesting data; an information accumulating unit that accumulates information associated with the first response data; a sleep mode response data generating unit that, in a sleep mode, generates second response data based on the accumulated information; a transmitting unit that transmits one of the first response data and the second response data; a sleep mode response output unit that transmits one of the first response data and the second response data to the transmitting unit or the information accumulating unit; and a sleep mode response control unit that (i) in the normal mode, transmits to the transmitting unit and the information accumulating unit the first response data that is transmitted from the controlling unit via the sleep mode response output unit, and (ii) in the sleep mode, transmits to the transmitting unit the second response data that is transmitted from the sleep mode response data generating unit via the sleep mode response output unit.
