An image forming apparatus comprising: a receiver for receiving a print job; a printing unit; a storage unit; an input interface for receiving a print execution command from a user; a power source for supplying an electric power; and a controller configured to: control the power source to stop or reduce the power supply to the printing unit when the receiver has not received a next print job within an after-printing standby time from completion of the printing; and control the power source to stop or reduce the power supply to the printing unit when the print job is a print-execution-command-input required print job requiring the print execution command and the receiver has not received a next print job within an after-print-job-receipt standby time from the receipt of the print-execution-command-input required print job, the after-print-job-receipt standby time being longer than the after-printing standby time.
