ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus is provided which is capable of immediately performing a recording operation in the case where the apparatus is restored to the operation state from the waiting state. The image forming apparatus has an MPU for performing switching between a normal operation mode, in which the apparatus is operated with normal electric power, and a low power consumption operation mode, in which the apparatus is operated with a low power consumption which is smaller than the normal electric power, so as to reduce electric power consumption. When the MPU switches the mode of the apparatus from the low power consumption operation mode to the normal operation mode, an initial-rotation inhibition signal for inhibiting initial rotation of a motor is generated. In response to the initial-rotation inhibition signal, the initial rotation of the motor is inhibited.
