Abstract
A switching mode power supply (SMPS) usable with an image forming apparatus receives an alternating current (AC) power from an external electric power supply source and outputs a direct current (DC) power. When a supply state of an electric power to the image forming apparatus is turned off, electric charges charged in a capacitor of the SMPS are discharged.
