An image forming apparatus includes a mounting surface provided on a main body and on which paper is placed; a person detection section provided in the main body; a processor configured to control return from a sleep state of the main body, based on the detection of a person by the person detection section, and perform control such that in a case where there is no paper on the mounting surface when transition to the sleep state, a nearby person approaching the main body is included in a detection target of the person detection section, and a passerby passing near the main body is not included in the detection target, in the sleep state, and in a case where there is a paper on the mounting surface when the transition, the nearby person and the passerby are included in the detection target, in the sleep state; and a notification section that notifies of paper remaining in a case where there is a paper on the mounting surface after the return.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an output unit, a light source, and a processor. The image forming unit creates a printed material by forming an image on paper. The output unit outputs the printed material to an output tray. The light source is provided such that lit light is viewable from outside the image forming apparatus. The processor is configured to receive a print job for creating the printed material by the image forming unit, and perform control such that the light source is lit in a first lighting pattern in a case where a printed material of a print job for a single user has been output to the output tray and the light source is lit in a second lighting pattern in a case where printed materials of print jobs for multiple users have been output to the output tray.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, an output unit, a light source, and a processor. The image forming unit creates a printed material by forming an image on paper. The output unit outputs the printed material to an output tray. The light source is provided such that lit light is viewable from outside the image forming apparatus. The processor is configured to receive specification of a period during which the light source is not to be lit, receive an instruction to create the printed material, and perform control such that in a case where the printed material is output in accordance with the instruction at a time outside the period, the light source is lit, whereas in a case where the printed material is output during the period, the light source is not lit during the period and then starts to be lit when the period ends.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to execute a reset process for resetting a watchdog timer, execute a recovery process of the information processing apparatus, in a case where the watchdog timer is not able to be reset within a time limit, and sets the time limit to a longer time, in a case where an apparatus load which is at least one of a current processing load per unit time of the information processing apparatus or a processing amount of a processing request which is input to the information processing apparatus is large, as compared to a case where the apparatus load is small.

An image forming apparatus includes a unit group including a specific unit having a specific component that performs an operation necessary for notification of paper remaining on a mounting surface; and a processor configured to control supply of power to the unit group at a return from a sleep state based on a return event, in which the processor is configured to in a case where there is no paper on the mounting surface at a transition to the sleep state, perform first control to supply power to a specified power supply destination corresponding to the return event at the return from the sleep state, and in a case where there is a paper on the mounting surface at the transition to the sleep state, perform second control to supply power to the specific unit at the return from the sleep state even in a case where the specific unit is not included in the specified power supply destination of the unit group.

An information processing apparatus includes a power supply switch, a display, a light-emitting unit, and a controller. The power supply switch is used to perform a control function. The display is such that a time from switching on of the power supply switch until occurrence of a screen change is long and a user is likely to fail to correctly recognize a switching-on state. The light-emitting unit is switched on in a time until the screen change occurs. The switching on is performed in such a manner that the user is notified that the power supply switch is in a switching-on state. After the controller is activated through an operation of switching on the power supply switch, the controller switches off the light-emitting unit according to a switching-off condition.

A startup operation control apparatus includes a main-power-source operation unit, a determining unit, a memory, and a controller. The main-power-source operation unit is operated to supply and shut off power from a power source. The determining unit determines whether or not the main-power-source operation unit has been operated. The memory stores, every time an operation mode of a processing device that operates by receiving power supply from the power source changes, information representing the changed operation mode in an updating manner. If the determining unit determines, upon a shift from a power shutoff state to a power supply state, that the main-power-source operation unit has not been operated, the controller performs control so that the processing device operates in the operation mode represented by the information stored in the memory.
