Abstract:
A hardware processor of an image forming apparatus is able to obtain saving target information from a time of a power-off operation to a time of power supply interruption and to save the saving target information, in a nonvolatile storage of the image forming apparatus, as first snapshot data (for restoring a state at a predetermined time after firmware is activated). When a power-on operation is performed after the time of the power-off operation, the hardware processor determines whether to perform a first high-speed startup process using the first snapshot data as an apparatus startup process with respect to the image forming apparatus. When a determination is made to perform the first high-speed startup process, the hardware processor causes the display of the image forming apparatus to display, in a period in which a hardware initialization process in response to the power-on operation is being performed or immediately after the hardware initialization process is completed, an advance notice screen to be displayed before completion of startup in response to the power-on operation, the advance notice screen giving an advance notice that a transition to a user operable state following the power-on operation will be completed.

Claim (Index 13):
The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to  claim 12 , wherein the step b) includes:\n b-1) making, when a determination is made, due to a fact that a first condition is not satisfied, not to perform the first high-speed startup process, a determination to perform a normal startup process including a kernel activation process and the firmware activation process; and b-2) making, when a determination is made, due to a fact that a second condition is not satisfied, not to perform the first high-speed startup process, a determination to perform a second high-speed startup process that uses second snapshot data stored in nonvolatile storage and that includes a second snapshot developing process of writing the second snapshot data from the nonvolatile storage back in the volatile storage and includes the firmware activation process, wherein the second snapshot data is snapshot data for restoring a state at a time immediately after the kernel activation process is completed and immediately before the firmware activation process is started.
