Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a first unit as a main body of the information processing apparatus; a second unit openable and closable relative to the first unit; a third unit openable and closable relative to the second unit; and a controller programmed to control operations of the first unit. The second unit includes a first detector configured to detect whether the third unit is opened or closed relative to the second unit. When the second unit is in an opened position relative to the first unit, the first detector detects that the third unit is opened. The controller controls at least one of the first unit, the second unit, and the third unit based on a result of the detection by the first detector.
