Abstract
A system having a power saving mode includes: a body provided with an original table having a surface for putting an original; an original cover coupled to the original table so that the original cover can be opened and closed to cover at least the surface of the original table; a light source that emits a beam; a power source that supplies power to the light source; a cover opening/closing detector that detects that the original cover is opened/closed; and a power source controller that controls the power source so that the power saving mode is released when the cover opening/closing detector detects that the original cover is closed during the power saving mode.
