Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a time measuring device and a control device. The time measuring device measures a predetermined time. The control device operates as a transition processor, a detector, and a determiner. The transition processor performs transition processing for allowing the image forming apparatus to transition to an energy-saving mode. The detector detects that the transition processing has been completed. The determiner determines, when not yet obtaining from the detector detection information indicating completion of the transition processing at a time when the time measuring device has measured lapse of the predetermined time from start of the transition processing, that the transition processing has not yet been completed.
