Abstract

A peripheral apparatus comprises: a power saving state shift notification signal transmission unit that transmits a power saving state shift notification signal to the terminal at a time of shifting to a power saving state; a notification response signal reception unit that receives a notification response signal from the terminal that is set as an output target for image forming and responds, only while in an operation state, to the power saving state shift notification signal transmitted from the power saving state shift notification signal transmission unit; and a power saving state shift control unit that stops a shift to the power saving state in a case of receiving the notification response signal by means of the notification response signal reception unit and executes the shift to the power saving state in a case of not-receiving the notification response signal.
