An image processing apparatus includes a volatile first memory, a non-volatile second memory, a hardware processor, a power supply and a delay unit, wherein the hardware processor executes a process defined by a program, after execution of the program ends, deletes data stored in the second memory by execution of the program by overwriting the stored data with predetermined data, in response to the generation of the stop trigger, stores data, stored in the first memory, in the second memory as a snapshot, in response to generation of a start trigger, transfers the snapshot stored in the second memory to the first memory, and in the case where prospective deletion data that is to be deleted is stored in the second memory in a stage where the stop trigger is generated, overwrites the prospective deletion data with the snapshot without overwriting the prospective deletion data with the predetermined data.

Image processing apparatus, activation control method and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with activation control program

An image forming apparatus performs, when a power-on operation has been subsequently performed after a power-off operation, a first snapshot developing process regardless of presence or absence of a change related to a device configuration of the image forming apparatus, the first snapshot developing process being performed such that first partial data (evacuation object information about a common device group in various device configurations) of snapshot data are written back from a nonvolatile storage to a volatile storage. In the case where the power-on operation has been performed and it is detected that there is no change related to the device configuration, a second snapshot developing process is also performed such that the second partial data (evacuation object information about a non-common device group whose presence or absence is changeable in the various device configurations) of the snapshot data are written back from the nonvolatile storage to the volatile storage.

Image forming apparatus with startup controller and recording medium

An image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions includes a scroll display portion that displays a row of markers and a slider for specifying one or more markers sequentially by moving along the row, an image display portion that displays functional images for representing functions corresponding to the markers specified by the slider, a setting portion that receives setting item details for a function specified by one of the functional images selected, and an extraction portion that extracts a function having the setting item details received by the setting portion different from an initial value. The image display portion displays a functional image for a longer time when the functional image represents the function extracted by the extraction portion than when the functional image does not represent the function extracted by the extraction portion.
