ABSTRACT:
A printing apparatus comprises a CPU 1, an image formation part 9, an interface 7 for communicating with an external host apparatus 19, an operation panel 8 which includes an operation switch and the like, etc., and a power cutoff circuit 12 which operates in response to an instruction which is expressed by a power save signal 17. The printing apparatus also comprises a voltage monitoring circuit 15 for monitoring a signal level change of a host side signal, such as a strobe signal, which is supplied from the external host apparatus 19. When the voltage level of the host signal is intermediate between a first reference voltage V1 and a second reference voltage V2, the voltage monitoring circuit 18 judges that power supply to the external host apparatus 19 is cut off.
