Abstract:
An image forming apparatus operates in two modes of an energy saving mode and a normal mode. The image forming apparatus includes a shared memory that is capable of being referenced by a network interface card, which is detachably connected to the image forming apparatus, in the energy saving mode and the normal mode of the image forming apparatus; and an apparatus information saving unit that, when an apparatus state of the image forming apparatus is changed, saves image forming apparatus information regarding the apparatus state of the image forming apparatus in the shared memory. The network interface card includes an apparatus information acquisition unit that acquires the image forming apparatus information from the shared memory.
