An image forming apparatus includes the following elements. An apparatus body implements plural functions including an image reading function, an image forming function, and a display function in accordance with operations requested by a user. A controller controls first, second, and third power states. An obtaining unit obtains information concerning paper. A first control unit controls the plural functions so that, when the plural functions are returned from the third to the second power state, the display function is returned to the second power state without being synchronized with the other functions and an operation requested by the user is received before the other functions are returned to the second power state. A second control unit controls the other functions so that, if the image forming function is required for executing an operation requested by the user, the operation is executed after the obtaining unit obtains the information concerning paper.

An image processing apparatus includes an image forming section, a fixing section, a mode switching section that selectively switches a fixing mode between a fast heating mode and a heat accumulation mode, a selecting section that selects the fast heating mode or heat accumulation mode based on the relationship between operation expressions F1+P1×N and W+F2+P2×N, where N is the number of sheets to process, F1 is the time from instruction of processing in fast heating mode to processing start, P1 is the per-sheet processing time in fast heating mode, W is the warm-up time for the heat accumulation mode, F2 is the time from instruction of processing in heat accumulation mode to processing start, and P2 is the per-sheet processing time in heat accumulation mode, and a switching controller that controls the mode switching section to switch to the fast heating or heat accumulation mode based on the selected mode.

A power-supply control device includes a power-supply-state transition control section, body-capable-of-movement detection sections, and an instruction section. The power-supply-state transition control section shifts a state of an operation target section from one state to another state among power-supply states and a non-power-supply state. The body-capable-of-movement detection sections detect a body capable of movement in a region. The instruction section provides, on the basis of results of detection of the body capable of movement by the body-capable-of-movement detection sections, at least an instruction for shifting between one of the power-supply states and the non-power-supply state, among instructions for shifting the state of the operation target section from one state to another state with the power-supply-state transition control section.

Disclosed is a power supply control apparatus including plural processing units, a mobile body detection unit, a determination unit, a transition unit, a mobile body confirmation unit, and a controller that controls the transition unit such that states of all of the processing units transit to the powered-off state when a result of confirmation in the mobile body confirmation unit represents absence and controls the transition unit such that the states of the plural processing units selectively and individually transit to the powered-off state when a result of confirmation in the mobile body confirmation unit represents presence.

A power-supply control device includes a power-supply-state transition control section, body-capable-of-movement detection sections, a time measuring section, a transition-instruction section, and an instruction-provision-time postponement section. The power-supply-state transition control section shifts a state of an operation target section from one state to another state among power-supply states and a non-power-supply state. The body-capable-of-movement detection sections detect a body capable of movement in a region. The time measuring section measures a time over which the operation target section in one of the power-supply states is not used. The transition-instruction section provides, for the power-supply-state transition control section, an instruction for shifting to the non-power-supply state. The instruction-provision-time postponement section postpones an instruction-provision time at which the instruction is provided by the transition-instruction section.

A power-supply control device includes a power-supply control section, a first detection section that detects whether or not a body capable of movement is moving, a second detection section that detects whether or not the body capable of movement exists, and an instruction section. The power-supply control section receives supply of power from a mains power source section, and selectively sets a power supply mode, in which power is supplied to a processing section, and a power saving mode, in which supply of power to the processing section is stopped. The first and second detection sections and the instruction section are caused to operate at least in the power saving mode. The instruction section provides, for the power-supply control section, an instruction for switching between the power supply mode and the power saving mode.
