A first processor performs a falsification detection on a first boot code based on activation of an information processing apparatus, and in a case where no falsification of the first boot code is detected and version information about the first boot code and version information about a second boot code are different from each other, the first processor overwrites the second boot code with the first boot code after reset processing of a second processor is completed.

Information processing apparatus and method for controlling information processing apparatus

In order to eliminate inconvenience that the voltage accuracy requirement for a power supply voltage of an ASIC cannot be satisfied because noise generated inside a substrate is superimposed on the power supply voltage, an LDO and an LC filter are added between a DC-DC converter and a power supply terminal of the ASIC to reduce the noise superimposed on the power supply voltage, the LDO is added to the subsequent stage of the DC-DC converter to reduce noise generated from the DC-DC converter, and further the LC filter is added to the subsequent stage of the LDO to reduce noise generated due to crosstalk or the like.

Voltage conversion circuit and image forming apparatus

An image processing apparatus comprises a CPU for controlling the image processing apparatus and a microcomputer that verifies alteration of a program that is stored in a nonvolatile memory and that the CPU executes, and that outputs a notification signal that indicates the verification result. The image processing apparatus comprises a power source control unit for controlling a power source of the image processing apparatus, and the power source control unit, when the image processing apparatus is activated, supplies power to the microcomputer, and when a notification signal outputted from the microcomputer is received, holds the verification result that the notification signal indicates and shuts off the supply of power to the microcomputer.

Image processing apparatus, having second processor to verify boot program has been altered, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes two storage devices, a semiconductor storage device and a magnetic storage device, and controls which of the storage devices is to provide a swap area corresponding to a power saving mode set in accordance with a user input.

Information processing apparatus configured to select swap area based on power mode, method of controlling the same, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An image forming apparatus includes a first power supply unit configured to generate first output power, a second power supply unit configured to generate second output power, a switching unit disposed on the primary side of the second power supply unit, a monitoring unit configured to monitor the second output power generated by the second power supply unit, a power source control unit supplied with the first output power, and configured to turn the switching unit ON or OFF, and a control unit supplied with the first output power, and configured to control operations of the power source control unit. When the second output power is lower than a threshold value, the power source control unit turns the switching unit OFF and then back to ON in a state where the first output power generated by the first power supply unit is supplied to the control unit.

Image forming apparatus with first and second power supply

An image forming apparatus equipped with a sleep function and for forming an image using an image forming unit and a control method thereof. The image forming apparatus includes a control unit that controls the image forming unit. When a job is received in a sleep state, a port number of the received job is discriminated, whether or not to perform initialization processing of the image forming unit is determined based on the discriminated port number, and in a case that it is determined that initialization processing of the image forming unit is necessary, initialization processing of the image forming unit is started and thereafter the control unit is controlled to start processing of the job.

Image forming apparatus with controlled activation based on port number and control method thereof

An image forming apparatus includes a first power supply unit to output first output power, a first device to which the first output power is supplied, a second power supply unit to output second output power, a second device to which the second output power is supplied, a detection unit to detect an overcurrent of the second power supply unit, a power source control unit to which the first output power is supplied and to switch between supplying and shutting-off of the second output power to the second device, and a control unit to which the first output power is supplied and to control an operation of the power source control unit. When the detection unit detects an overcurrent of the second output power, the power source control unit shuts off the second output power to the second device, and the control unit executes finish processing for the first device.

Image forming apparatus configured to switch between supplying and shutting-off of power to a portion of the image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus capable of communicating with a server apparatus, includes a receiving unit configured to receive a packet from the server apparatus, a determining unit configured to determine whether a packet received by the receiving unit is a specific packet, a power supply control unit which, when the determining unit determines that a packet received by the receiving unit is the specific packet, brings the image forming apparatus into a first power condition which enables the image forming apparatus to start quickly using data stored in a volatile memory, and a start control unit configured to start the image forming apparatus quickly using data stored in the volatile memory.

Image forming apparatus, control method of image forming apparatus and storage medium

The invention relates to an information processing apparatus which performs mirroring for synchronizing storage contents of a first storage unit and a second storage unit. If mirroring is valid when the information processing apparatus is started, the information processing apparatus detects a storage unit attached to itself. If a detection result indicates that no storage unit has been detected or one storage unit has been detected, the information processing apparatus displays, on a display unit, a connection acknowledgement screen for the storage unit which has not been detected. If the detection result indicates that two storage units have been detected, activation processing is executed for the information processing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, control method therefor and storage medium

An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a server apparatus, a power supply control unit configured to repeat power supply to the communication unit, and an inquiry unit configured to make an inquiry to the server apparatus about whether to turn on a second power supply unit that energizes a controller that controls the image forming apparatus, each time the communication unit becomes communicable with the server apparatus by the power supply control unit, wherein the power supply control unit repeats power supply to the communication unit for each of a plurality of predetermined time periods, until receiving a response to turn on the power of the second power supply unit from the server apparatus in response to the inquiry by the inquiry unit.

Image forming apparatus, control method for image forming apparatus, and storage medium for performing power-saving control

An image forming apparatus according to the present invention is capable of connecting a removable storage device that stores operation data controlling an operation of the image forming apparatus. When a shutdown instruction of the image forming apparatus is received from a user, it is determined whether or not it is necessary to execute an operation using the operation data stored in the removable storage device. In a case that it is determined that it is necessary to execute an operation using the operation data, the image forming apparatus stores the operation data stored in the removable storage device into an incorporated non-volatile storage unit and shots down, and then restart. After the restart is performed, it is controlled so that an operation using the operation data that has been stored in the incorporated non-volatile storage unit is executed.
