Abstract
In an image forming apparatus, when a processor starts to be supplied with a voltage in a first voltage range from a voltage generator, the processor executes start-up processing with an operation clock of a first frequency, and transmits a voltage adjustment instruction to the voltage generator. On receiving the voltage adjustment instruction, the voltage generator performs voltage adjustment to make the voltage supplied to the processor a voltage in a second voltage range. On completion of the voltage adjustment, the voltage generator transmits a completion notice to the processor. When communication related to the voltage adjustment does not end normally, the processor keeps the frequency of the operation clock at the first frequency to execute processing; thereafter based on the operation clock of the first frequency.
