Abstract
When activating a communication device to start communication, it takes time to perform automatic negotiation processing from when communication device starts processing until communication by the communication device is enabled. A communication apparatus includes a communication device configured to communicate with an external apparatus, and a control unit configured to control the communication apparatus. When starting communication with the external apparatus by activating the communication device in a non-operating state, the control unit controls the communication device such that a setting sequence for making a communication setting for a communication interface based on a predetermined communication method which is included in the communication device is executed in parallel with a starting sequence for activating the communication device.
