Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing apparatus included in a system including another image processing apparatus, and configured to transition to a first and a second electric power saving mode when functioning as a main apparatus and a slave apparatus, respectively, in the system where the second electric power saving mode is lower than that of the first electric power saving mode, includes a function determining unit which determines whether the image processing apparatus is to function as the main apparatus or the slave apparatus based on a status of the other image processing apparatus which is obtained when the image processing apparatus is performing a job; and an instruction sending unit which sends an instruction to have the other image processing apparatus function as the slave apparatus or the main apparatus when the image processing apparatus is determined to function as the main apparatus or the slave apparatus, respectively.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
