Summary:To provide an image forming apparatus capable of reducing power consumption.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes: a transmission/reception part which receives network packets in a first mode and a second mode with lower power consumption than the first mode; a communication part which stores filter information including a plurality of filter setting, and determines whether the network packets received by the transmission/reception part coincides with any one of the plurality of filter setting in the second mode; a determination control part which performs rewriting operation of repeatedly rewriting the filter information in the determination part in the second mode; a power source control part which shifts the mode from the second mode to the first mode on the basis of the determination result of the determination part; a packet transmission/reception part which receives the network packets supplied from the transmission/reception part in the first mode, and stops the operation in the second mode; and an image forming part which forms an image on a recording medium in the first mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】消費電力を低減することができる画像形成装置を得る。【解決手段】本発明の画像形成装置は、第1のモードおよび第1のモードよりも消費電力が低い第2のモードにおいてネットワークパケットを受信する送受信部と、複数のフィルタ設定を含むフィルタ情報を記憶するとともに、第2のモードにおいて送受信部が受信したネットワークパケットが複数のフィルタ設定のいずれかと一致するかどうかを判定する判定部とを有する通信部と、第2のモードにおいて判定部におけるフィルタ情報を繰り返し書き換える書換動作を行う判定制御部と、判定部の判定結果に基づいて、第2のモードから第1のモードにモードを遷移させる電源制御部と、第1のモードにおいて送受信部から供給されたネットワークパケットを受け取り、第2のモードにおいて動作を停止するパケット送受信部と、第1のモードにおいて記録媒体に画像を形成する画像形成部とを備える。【選択図】図2
