Abstract
A power saving mode, in which the temperature of a heater of a printer is made lower than a predetermined temperature, is turned on when a predetermined condition has been met, and turned off when a job has occurred. The power saving mode is continued if a job has occurred in a state in which the power saving mode is turned on and the job that has occurred is a job which does not use the printer.
