Abstract:
An image forming apparatus which is capable of reducing a load on a data bus therein when controlling an image reading apparatus depending on its image processing capability. When acquired identification information about the image forming apparatus is included in a clock control table  600 , a clock frequency for controlling hardware of the image reading apparatus in accordance with the clock control table  600 , while setting the clock frequency therefor to a default setting of the clock control table  600  when the acquired identification information is not included in the clock control table  600 , wherein a minimum value of clock frequencies in the clock control table  600  is set as the default setting of the clock control table  600.

Claim (Index 26):
A control method for an image reading apparatus including a reading unit configured to execute a reading job for reading an image on an original, and an image processing unit configured to perform image processing to the image read by said reading unit, the control method comprising:\n an acquisition step of acquiring identification information about the image forming apparatus; a determination step of determining whether or not the acquired identification information is included in a first table in which clock frequencies for respectively controlling hardware of a plurality of reading units are set for each of a plurality of pieces of identification information; and a setting step of setting a clock frequency for controlling hardware of the reading unit in accordance with the first table and the acquired identification information when it is determined that the acquired identification information is included in the first table, while setting the clock frequency for controlling the hardware of the reading unit to a predetermined setting when it is determined that the acquired identification information is not included in the first table.
