Abstract
A managing apparatus controls the power status of an image forming apparatus in accordance with a notification of event occurrence from the image forming apparatus. Upon receiving the notification, it is determined whether the first power status of the image forming apparatus according to a schedule and the second power status of the image forming apparatus controlled based on the notification match each other. Upon determining that the power statuses do not match, the first power status or the second power status is selected based on priority information. When the first power status is selected, the managing apparatus prohibits control of the power status of the image forming apparatus. When the second power status is selected, the managing apparatus invalidates control of the power status of the image forming apparatus according to the schedule.
