Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus in which a removable storage medium is used, and is an image forming apparatus that is capable of achieving both reduced power consumption and efficient operation. The image forming apparatus has a storage-medium-recognizing unit for recognizing whether or not the storage medium is connected. When the storage-medium-recognizing unit recognizes that the storage medium has been connected while the supply of electric power to a printing-executing unit is stopped in a standby state, electric power is supplied to an operation-receiving unit. After electric power is supplied to the operation-receiving unit, when there is an operation indicating that the printing-executing unit is used, electric power is supplied to the printing-executing unit.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising\n a document-reading unit that acquires image data by optically reading a document, and in the standby state, the supply of electric power to the document-reading unit is stopped together with the printing-executing unit; and when there is a reply by the operation-receiving unit indicating that the printing-executing unit will not be used, electric power is set to be supplied to the document-reading unit.
