Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device interface further includes a detection unit, a first selection unit, and a control unit. The detection unit detects a factor for shifting the image forming apparatus to a power saving state. The first selection unit allows a user to select whether to maintain or stop power supply to the USB device interface in the power saving state. The control unit controls the power supply to the USB device interface according to the selection by the user using the first selection unit when the detection unit detects the factor.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control,\n wherein the first detector is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) detector and the second detector is a network detector, and wherein, in response to the operation unit receiving user input, the controller controls to (1) disable the USB detector and the network detector, (2) disable the USB detector and continue enabling the network detector, (3) disable the network detector and continue enabling the USB detector, or (4) continue enabling the USB detector and the network detector, based on the user input received by the operation unit.
