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 10):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein\n the hardware processor uses a plurality of screens as the advance notice screen, the hardware processor has a plural pieces of small image data each of which is for the partial area related to each of the plurality of screens and each of which corresponds to each of the plurality of screens, and when causing one screen selected from the plurality of screens to be displayed as the advance notice screen, the advance notice screen is caused to be displayed by overwriting the partial area with small image data, of the plural pieces of small image data, corresponding to the one screen.
