In electronic device, a controller obtains, from an external device, a setting file containing setting item designating information and designated setting information, determines each of one or more setting items designated by the setting item designating information is which one of a fixed setting item and a variable setting item, stores the setting information regarding the setting item determined to be the fixed setting item based on the designated setting information, notify information asking for a user operation so that the receiving section receives the setting information regarding the setting item which is determined to be the variable setting item, and stores the setting information regarding the setting item determined to be the variable setting item in the memory based on the received setting information which is the setting information received by the receiving section.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a portable terminal capable of receiving a signal from a transmitter in a detection area. A processor of the apparatus is configured to determine whether to shift to an operable state from a sleep state based on user information contained in proximity information when the proximity information, containing the user information indicating that a user enters the detection area, is received by the communication interface from the portable terminal receiving a signal from the transmitter.

An information processing apparatus of the invention includes a main system and a sub system, and executes activation processing on the basis of a boot image. The information processing apparatus includes: a saving unit configured to save the boot image which is developed in a first area of a storage unit in the sub system, in a second area which is different from the first area in the storage unit, in the activation processing of the sub system, in a case where the information processing apparatus is activated from a power off state; a restoration unit configured to restore the boot image which is saved in the second area to the first area in a case where the information processing apparatus is transitioned to a power saving state from a normal power state; and a holding unit configured to hold the restored boot image.

A printing apparatus receives power from a commercial power supply, a power control unit can control the power supplied when the printing apparatus is powered from the commercial power supply, a storage unit can continuously store information even when power from the commercial power supply to the printing apparatus is interrupted, and based on a user operation received during such an interruption the information stored in the storage unit is switched between information indicating that an instruction to supply power is valid and information indicating that an instruction to stop power supply is valid.

An electronic apparatus includes: a communication unit that receives a beacon signal from a terminal apparatus; a display unit; and a processing unit that performs display processing of the display unit. The processing unit performs processing of displaying a screen to be displayed to a user of the terminal apparatus from which the beacon signal is transmitted, on the display unit, in a first display mode, in a case where it is determined that a distance between the terminal apparatus and the electronic apparatus is equal to or shorter than a first reference distance based on a reception radio wave intensity of the beacon signal.

An information processing apparatus manages an image forming apparatus installed in a building having a plurality of areas. The information processing apparatus includes an installation area information storage device, containing installation area information indicating each of the areas where the image forming apparatus is installed, a communication device that makes communication with an external apparatus, and a control device including a processor, and configured to acts as a controller, when the processor executes an operation control program. The controller transmits, when an abnormality detection device, provided in each of the areas to detect an abnormality that has occurred in the area, detects the abnormality, a command notice to turn off power for the image forming apparatus installed in the area where the abnormality has occurred, from the communication device to the image forming apparatus, according to the installation area information stored in the installation area information storage device.

A multi-function peripheral (100) includes a main controller (400) which executes a function in a normal mode and stops in a power-saving mode, a sub-controller (401) which executes a function in the power-saving mode, an accumulation unit (402) which is operable, in the case where setting information for a prescribed setting item is changed in the function executed in the power-saving mode, to accumulate the setting information before and after the change in a prescribed memory (403), and a notification unit (404) which is operable, in response to switching from the power-saving mode to the normal mode, to make notification to a user by displaying the accumulated setting information before and after the change.

An information processing apparatus includes a power supply switch, a display, a light-emitting unit, and a controller. The power supply switch is used to perform a control function. The display is such that a time from switching on of the power supply switch until occurrence of a screen change is long and a user is likely to fail to correctly recognize a switching-on state. The light-emitting unit is switched on in a time until the screen change occurs. The switching on is performed in such a manner that the user is notified that the power supply switch is in a switching-on state. After the controller is activated through an operation of switching on the power supply switch, the controller switches off the light-emitting unit according to a switching-off condition.

The CPU of an image processing apparatus (MFP), when the MFP shifts to a first sleep mode, sets a time until, in the first sleep mode, the storage device stops rotation of a spindle motor to shift to a power saving mode. The CPU controls the storage device to shift to the power saving state at a timing at which the set time has elapsed after the MFP shifts to the first sleep mode.

An image heating apparatus includes a heater having a plurality of heat generating elements, a roller for forming a nip portion with the heater, an acquisition portion that acquires a plurality of count values indicating heat accumulation amounts of a plurality of heating regions heated by the plurality of heat generating elements, respectively, and a control portion that controls electrical power to be supplied to the plurality of heat generating elements to control individual heat generating quantities of the plurality of heat generating elements. The control portion controls the heat generating quantities so that a difference between a first count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a first heating region heated by a first heat generating element and a second count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a second heating region heated by a second heat generating element is maintained within a predetermined range.
