ABSTRACT:
When a power supply of an image forming apparatus is turned on and also a power save function is released, the image forming apparatus initialize modules with respect to each of the modules. For example, when initializations of a communication control unit and a modulating/demodulating unit are accomplished, even when initializations of other modules are not yet ended, a facsimile service is provided. Also, when initializations of an image reading control unit and an image reading unit are accomplished, a scanner service is provided. In this manner, the services provided by such modules whose initializations have been accomplished are sequentially providable irrespective of states of the other modules.
