Abstract
When 'operation which is not directly connected to job execution' is performed in an operation screen of a terminal device, by setting an image formation device to a power saving state, energy saving is achieved. An image formation system has: a power mode determining unit determining a shift condition of shifting to any of power states on the basis of an operation directly connected to job execution and an operation which is not directly connected to job execution, which is input to an operation screen displayed in an operation terminal; and a power state control unit shifting an MFP to any of the power states on the basis of the shift condition determined by the power mode determining unit.
