ABSTRACT:
A multifunction apparatus performs a printing process when the apparatus succeeds in user authentication upon receiving a print request from a PC. The multifunction apparatus calculates an expected print start time based on past usage data thereof, that is, an elapsed time required in the past from the print request to user authentication. The multifunction apparatus further calculates an expected operation time required for preparations for the printing process, based on an current operation status thereof, such as standby mode, color registration adjustment, and the like; and sets as a delay time a time derived from subtracting the expected operation time from the expected print start time. The multifunction apparatus starts warm-up when the delay time elapses.
