Abstract
A processing apparatus includes following components. Processing units each operate when being supplied with power. A first detector detects an object entering a first detection area. A second detector detects an object entering a second detection area. A first controller controls power supply to the processing units and the first and second detectors. At a start of a power-saving mode, the first controller stops supplying power to the second detector and at least one processing unit and supplies power to the first detector. After the start of the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the second detector when the first detector detects an object entering the first detection area. When the second detector detects an object entering the second detection area in the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the at least one processing unit so as to cancel the power-saving mode.
