ABSTRACT:
An image forming system having a management information server and an image forming apparatus connected via a network. When the image forming apparatus enters a power saving mode and a power source is off, the apparatus is not reactivated by management information from the server but the power saving mode is maintained and the electric power consumption can be reduced. The system has: a communication control unit which receives print data and a management information obtaining command from the outside; a data discriminating unit which discriminates them and notifies the communication control unit of the discrimination result; an image forming unit which receives the print data and prints; and a power supply control unit which shuts off/recovers a part or all of the power sources to the image forming unit and notifies the communication control unit that the shut-off/recovery has been made.
