摘要:
A wireless communication apparatus that operates on electric power supplied from a battery includes a first wireless communication unit that performs a first wireless communication, a second wireless communication unit that performs a second wireless communication that consumes less electric power than the first wireless communication, a battery's state detection unit that detects a state of the battery, and a first control unit that controls the first wireless communication unit and the second wireless communication unit. The first control unit determines which one of the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication to adopt as a wireless communication that is to be used for communication, on the basis of the state of the battery detected by the battery's state detection unit.

A total-current control unit is configured to add a fuser current of a fuser unit to a load current of the load to thereby obtain a total current to be supplied from a commercial power supply to the image forming apparatus, the total-current control unit being configured to control the total current to be at a predetermined limit value or less. An auxiliary power supply is configured to supply an auxiliary current to the load. The total-current control unit is further configured to provide first control to control the total current to be at the limit value or less and allow the auxiliary power supply to supply the auxiliary current to the load, thereby supplying, to the load, a current obtained by adding the auxiliary current to the load current, if an increase in the load current causes the total current to exceed the limit value.

An electronic device is provided that is capable of dealing with data loss from a volatile memory that can be caused when power supply from a device power source is disconnected. Even if there is a setting to retain received data in the volatile memory until a printing instruction is given by a user, the electronic device, e.g., an image forming apparatus, prints received data without waiting for the user's printing instruction in a case where a backup battery voltage is less than a predetermined value.
摘要:
An electronic device which obtains time from a real-time clock, the real-time clock keeping time with electric power supplied from a specific chargeable/dischargeable power supply, the real-time clock including: a discharge detecting unit which detects whether the power supply is discharging; a clock setup unit which sets a clock for the real-time clock; a clock setup flag which indicates whether the clock has been set by the clock setup unit; and a warning unit which issues a warning to encourage a user to set the clock in a period since the discharge of the power supply is detected until the clock is newly set, in which when the clock is set, the clock setup unit turns the clock setup flag on to indicate that the clock is set; when the warning unit issues a warning, the clock setup unit turns the clock setup flag off to indicate that the clock is not yet set; and the warning unit issues the warning when the clock setup flag is off.
摘要:
A power supply unit selects one of drive power provided from an AC/DC conversion unit and that provided from a separation unit and outputs the selected drive power to a control unit and a transmission and reception unit continuously. If the AC/DC conversion unit and the separation unit both supply their respective drive powers, the drive power that has a higher voltage value, i.e., the first drive power, is selectively output. When the first drive power supplied is stopped, a diode transitions from the on state to the off state and a diode transitions from the off state to the on state. As a result the second drive power is selectively output.
