An apparatus according to the present invention includes a reception unit which receives selection of a function from a plurality of types of functions, an execution unit which executes the function received by the reception unit, a determination unit which determines whether temperature rise suppression of a predetermined driving element is necessary, and a stop control unit which performs stop control on the predetermined driving element in accordance with the type of the selected function, if the determination unit determines that temperature rise suppression is necessary.

An example device may include an image forming device, comprising a humidity indicator, a scanner to optically scan the humidity indicator, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to instruct the scanner to initiate an optical scan of the humidity indicator, determine a humidity level based on the optical scan of the humidity indicator, and instruct the image forming device to adapt a behavior characteristic of the image forming device responsive of the humidity level.

An image forming apparatus includes: a wireless communication board on which a communication circuit is mounted, the communication circuit communicating image data with an external device in a wireless manner; an image forming unit that forms an image based on the image data; a control board connected to the wireless communication board via a connection line to control an image forming operation of the image forming unit; and an accommodation portion of a metal material in which the control board is accommodated, wherein a predetermined metal plate constituting the accommodation portion has a recessed portion, and the wireless communication board is positioned in the recessed portion.

An image reading device includes: a conveying portion configured to convey a sheet; a reading portion configured to read an image of the sheet; a driving portion configured to drive the conveying portion; and a switch processing portion configured to switch an operation mode of the driving portion alternately between a drive mode for driving the conveying portion and a cool mode for cooling the driving portion. When, in the drive mode, a total driving time of the driving portion exceeds a first threshold, the switch processing portion switches the operation mode to the cool mode.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to set a state of a fixing device in a case where a state of an image forming apparatus including the fixing device transitions to a power saving state to be different depending on a property of the imaging forming apparatus.

The controller causes, when the motor temperature becomes equal to or higher than ta2, the motor to stop for x1 seconds each time one banknote is transported until the motor temperature becomes equal to or lower than ta1, when the motor temperature becomes equal to or higher than ta4, the motor to stop for x2 seconds each time one banknote is transported until the motor temperature becomes equal to or lower than ta3, when the motor temperature becomes equal to or higher than ta6, the motor to stop until the motor temperature becomes equal to or lower than ta4, and when the reading sensor temperature becomes equal to or higher than tb2, the motor to stop until the reading sensor temperature becomes equal to or lower than tb1, where tb1<tb2<ta1<ta2<ta3<ta4<ta6, and x1<x2.
