Abstract:
A power management apparatus attached to a first image forming apparatus configured to switch a power supply switch to an OFF state, includes an energy storage device configured to supply electric power to the apparatus, a communication interface configured to receive a state of a second image forming apparatus from a communication device attached to the second image forming apparatus, and a mechanical switch configured to physically displace a power supply switch of the first image forming apparatus and turn a power supply of the first image forming apparatus ON and OFF based on the state of the second image forming apparatus.

Claim (Index 6):
The power management apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein\n the communication device includes an illuminance sensor for detecting ambient illuminance at at least one additional image forming apparatus, and acquires a power control mode of the at least one additional image forming apparatus, and the controller receives the detection result of the illuminance sensor as the state of the at least one additional image forming apparatus, and the power control mode of the second image forming apparatuses, from the communication device via the communication interface, determines whether the power supply of the at least one additional image forming apparatus is in the OFF state based on the period of time of the at least one additional image forming apparatus has been in a power saving and determines whether the at least one additional image forming apparatus is powered off based on the detection result of the illuminance sensor, and drives the mechanical switch to switch the power supply switch to the power supply OFF position if it is determined that a specified number or more the at least one additional image forming apparatus are powered off.
