Abstract
A job processing apparatus includes a job executing section, an operating section, an interface section, and a control section. The control section shifts the job processing apparatus from a normal operation mode to a power-saving operation mode after a lapse of standby time T during which no command input to the job executing section is detected. The control section returns the job processing apparatus from the power-saving operation mode to the normal operation mode when a command input to the job executing section is detected in the power-saving operation mode. The control section utilizes standby time T, instead of the standby time T, if a last job executed by the job executing section is according to job data input through the interface section. The standby time Tis shorter than the standby time T.
