Abstract:
An image forming apparatus has a changing portion configured to change, based on a detection result of a temperature sensor, response sensitivity in starting of power supply by a determination portion based on a detection result of a human body detection sensor in a case where a human body approaches the human body detection sensor. The changing portion increases the sensitivity in a case where a temperature detected by the temperature sensor is a second temperature lower than a first temperature than in a case where the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is the first temperature.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n an image forming portion including a rotatable photosensitive body, a rotor configured to scan the photosensitive body with laser light from a laser light source, and a motor configured to rotatably drive the rotor and configured to perform image formation for a recording member; a power source configured to output power for rotatably driving the motor; a human body detection sensor configured to detect a human body in a predetermined region for the image forming apparatus, a signal according to a distance between the human body and the human body detection sensor being output from the human body detection sensor; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the image forming apparatus; a supply portion configured to supply, as preparation for the image formation, the power to the motor based on comparison between the signal output and a threshold in a state in which no power is supplied to the motor; and a changing portion configured to change at least one of the signal output and the threshold such that the distance upon start of supply of the power from the supply portion is longer in a case where a detection temperature of the temperature sensor is a first temperature than in a case where the detection temperature is a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
