ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus comprises a main control circuit 1, an image forming section 10, an interface 8 for communicating with an external host system 9, and an operation panel 20 including operating switches. The apparatus further comprises power cutoff circuits 32 and 33 for interrupting a power supply to the image forming section 10 in response to a command from the main control circuit 1. In the case where a signal input is applied from the operation panel 20 for designating the power saving mode while the printing data is being transmitted from the external host system 9, the transmission data from the external host system 9 are all received and discharged. The power saving mode is started after discharging the data. An erroneous operation can thus be prevented in starting or canceling the power saving mode.
