Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a human sensor, an operation unit for performing various settings, and a control unit capable of switching an operation mode between a normal mode and a sleep mode. In a case where no inputting from the operation unit occurs in a first set time, the control unit switches from the normal mode to the sleep mode. In a case where a human body is detected by the human sensor, the control unit switches from the sleep mode to the normal mode. In the normal mode, when the human sensor no longer detects a human body or the human sensor detects a human body leaving, the control unit clears a setting of the operation unit and starts counting down a second set time set for switching from the normal mode to the sleep mode.
