Abstract:
In an information processing apparatus, when a receiving unit receives data from an external device, a power control unit returns a power state of the apparatus from a power saving state and a transmitting unit transmits a start instruction to a connected image forming apparatus, and when a power supply switch becomes on according to a user's operation, the power control unit returns the power state of the apparatus from the power saving state but the transmitting unit does not transmit the start instruction to the image forming apparatus. Thus, it is possible to achieve both a linkage start and an individual start for an external image processing controller and the image forming apparatus, in an image processing system including the information processing apparatus, the external image processing controller and the image forming apparatus capable of performing an image process in cooperation with others.

Claim (Index 22):
A control method for an image processing controller which is externally connected with a printer, generates image data, and transmits the generated image data to the printer, the image processing controller comprising: a power controller which controls the image processing controller to be operated in each of a plurality of power states including at least a first power state and a second power state of which power consumption is larger than a power consumption of the first power state; a first interface which communicates with an external device; and a second interface which is an interface different from the first interface, and communicates with the printer,\n the control method comprising: when the image processing controller is operated in the first power state, according to reception of a predetermined data from the external device by the first interface, causing the power controller to shift the operation of the image processing controller from the first power state to the second power state, and according to reception of the predetermined data from the external device by the first interface, causing the second interface to transmit an instruction packet to the printer, the instruction packet being for returning a power state of the printer from a power saving state.
