Abstract:
An energy saving setting unit controls an image forming apparatus that makes a transition to a power saving state if a transition time passes without any prescribed operation in a normal state, and it includes: a unit for storing specific day information distinguishing a normal operation day and a specific day; an auto pattern updating unit determining the transition time in a normal operation day based on past operational status of the normal operation day of the image forming apparatus; a specific day pattern registering unit receiving and storing setting of the transition time of the specific day; and a switching unit, switching the state of conduction of the image forming apparatus using the transition time determined by the auto pattern updating unit and the stored transition time, on the normal operation day and on the specific day, respectively, based on the specific day information.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus having an electrically operated device, the image forming apparatus having a processor and a storage unit that stores a program executed by the processor and capable of power-saving control, comprising:\n a controller performed by the processor, the program causing the controller to execute,\n a first control performing power-saving control of said image forming apparatus in accordance with a condition set by a user on a day or in a time slot set by the user; \n a second control performing power-saving control of said image forming apparatus without any condition set by the user; and \n a third control applying either said first control or said second control with priority to power-saving control of said image forming apparatus, wherein \n said third control applies, to the power-saving control of said electrically operated device of said image forming apparatus, said first control with priority over said second control on the day or in the time slot set by said user, and applies said second control with priority over said first control on other days or in other time slots; wherein said image forming apparatus further includes: a first user interface that allows the user to select a first operation mode that operates under the first control; and a second user interface that allows the user to select a second operation mode that operates under the second control; and wherein said first user interface allows the user to select the first operation mode while the second operation mode is being selected.
