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 1):
An image forming apparatus, comprising: a printing-executing unit for performing a mechanical operation for forming images on paper, and an operation-receiving unit for receiving operations by a user; the image forming apparatus being capable of forming the images according to data that is stored in the removable storage medium, and performing control for stopping the supply of electric power to the printing-executing unit and the operation-receiving unit in a standby state; and further comprising\n a storage-medium-recognizing unit that recognizes whether or not the storage medium is connected; wherein when the storage-medium-recognizing unit recognizes that the storage medium is connected while the supply of electric power to the printing-executing unit is stopped in a standby state, electric power is supplied to the operation-receiving unit; and when after electric power is supplied to the operation-receiving unit and there is an operation performed using the operation-receiving unit indicating that the printing-executing unit is used, electric power is supplied to the printing-executing unit.
