Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a facsimile portion that transmits and receives data through a telephone line with an outside; a power supply portion that supplies power to the facsimile portion; and a power-saving control portion that is connected to a communication line other than the telephone line and that controls a power supply mode of the power supply portion. When the power supply mode is an off mode, the power supply portion stops the supply of power to the facsimile portion. When a connection state determination portion determines that the connection to the telephone line is disconnected, the power-saving control portion controls a transfer to the off mode based on whether or not a notification of information for making a determination on the transfer to the off mode is provided from an information output device connected to the image forming apparatus through the communication line.
