An image forming apparatus which, to the extent possible, prevents an operation for protecting a printer engine from being uncompleted before power to the printer engine is shut down due to cancellation of a process that should be carried out by the printer engine. When a predetermined time period has elapsed since an instruction to reduce power consumption was detected, power to the printer engine is shut down. When the instruction is detected, a canceling instruction for canceling the process that should be carried out by the printer engine is issued to the printer engine. Responsive to this, a cancellation process for the process is started, and an engine protecting instruction for protecting the printer engine without waiting for completion of the cancellation process is issued to the printer engine. After the operation for protecting the printer engine is carried out, power to the printer engine is shut down.

An image forming apparatus is provided in which, in a case where a calculated value is less than a predetermined value (for example, 'low' level, or 'out' level), and information indicating that a remaining toner amount is less than the predetermined value has not been acquired from a toner container, the predetermined value or a value a predetermined amount greater than the predetermined value is set as an initial value of the remaining toner amount.

Image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium

Print data is always stored securely in printing to prevent printing of the print data by another person in reprinting without being aware by the user of whether to storage it securely. To accomplish this, print data received from a data processing apparatus is stored, and print processing is executed. When reprinting of the stored print data is instructed after printing, input of authentication information for reprinting is requested. When authentication information input in accordance with the request and authentication information of the stored print data coincide with each other, print processing based on the stored print data is executed.
