A return factor monitoring unit detects occurrence of a return factor to a normal mode during a power saving mode, and outputs a notification signal indicating return factor information relating to a detected return factor, to the image forming control unit before starting of the system control unit is completed. An initialization necessity judgment unit determines whether initializing the predetermined process is needed at a time of returning to the normal mode, based on the return factor information.
