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.

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.
