    Abstract: A controller acquires communication destination information including at least a first external apparatus connected via a first communication interface or a second external apparatus connected via a second communication interface. The controller performs initialization of the first communication interface and the second communication interface. The initialization includes: in response to determining that an external apparatus indicated by the communication destination information is the first external apparatus, after completing initialization of the first communication interface, shifting to a communication waiting state in which transmission and reception of data is acceptable; and in response to determining that the external apparatus indicated by the communication destination information is the second external apparatus, shifting to the communication waiting state after completing initialization of the second communication interface. The controller performs communication with at least the first external apparatus or the second external apparatus. The communication includes transmission and reception of the data.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus equipped with a sleep function and for forming an image using an image forming unit and a control method thereof. The image forming apparatus includes a control unit that controls the image forming unit. When a job is received in a sleep state, a port number of the received job is discriminated, whether or not to perform initialization processing of the image forming unit is determined based on the discriminated port number, and in a case that it is determined that initialization processing of the image forming unit is necessary, initialization processing of the image forming unit is started and thereafter the control unit is controlled to start processing of the job.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus which is capable of selecting power states that suit user's intention for a low-power state and a job executable state. A first power-saving state or a second power-saving state in which a smaller amount of power is consumed than in the first power-saving state is set as a power-saving state to which the printing apparatus is shifted when a shifting factor is detected. A first returning method for returning the printing apparatus from the power-saving state when a returning factor that causes the printing apparatus to return from the power-saving state is detected, or a second returning method for returning the printing apparatus from the power-saving state when a function to be used is selected on a function selecting screen displayed in response to detecting the returning factor is set. When the first power-saving state has been set, the first returning method is set.

    Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus that speeds up starting. The image forming apparatus is provided with a main storage part and an auxiliary storage part. A boot loader that is stored in the auxiliary storage part is expanded to the main storage part. The boot loader that has been expanded is executed to generate a defective area table for the auxiliary storage part. When a kernel of an OS that is stored in the auxiliary storage part is expanded, the kernel is caused to be referred the defective area table that has been generated. When the kernel is executed, the defective area table is not generated. Thereby, the defective area table generated by the boot loader can be used by the OS, which allows the boot time to be shortened.
