Abstract: A hardware processor of an image forming apparatus is able to obtain saving target information from a time of a power-off operation to a time of power supply interruption and to save the saving target information, in a nonvolatile storage of the image forming apparatus, as first snapshot data (for restoring a state at a predetermined time after firmware is activated). When a power-on operation is performed after the time of the power-off operation, the hardware processor determines whether to perform a first high-speed startup process using the first snapshot data as an apparatus startup process with respect to the image forming apparatus. When a determination is made to perform the first high-speed startup process, the hardware processor causes the display of the image forming apparatus to display, in a period in which a hardware initialization process in response to the power-on operation is being performed or immediately after the hardware initialization process is completed, an advance notice screen to be displayed before completion of startup in response to the power-on operation, the advance notice screen giving an advance notice that a transition to a user operable state following the power-on operation will be completed.

Abstract: An MFP (an image forming apparatus) includes a main CPU that performs a predetermined process before switching the MFP to a power supply stop state, in response to a turn-off operation on a main power switch of the MFP, and a sub CPU that controls supply of power to individual units of the MFP in response to a command from the main CPU by a power relay and a power control IC. The sub CPU monitors the operating state of the main CPU after the turn-off operation on the main power switch. After the turn-off operation, even if a power supply stop command from the main CPU is not received, if a predetermined condition related to the result of the monitoring of the operating state of the main CPU is satisfied, the sub CPU performs forced turn-off control for forcibly stopping supply of power to the individual units.
