Since the capacity of the storage destination information 55 is very small compared to the actual capacity of the processing target data, the storage capacity of the storage unit to which power is supplied in the power saving mode can be reduced. In addition, when the power saving mode is canceled, the processing target data is acquired and predetermined processing is executed on the processing target data, so that the number of times the digital multifunction device 3 is restored can be reduced.

Abstract
Description
図1を参照して、本実施の形態のネットワークシステムの構成を説明する。本実施の形態に係るネットワークシステムは、PC(Personal Computer)1,2と、デジタル複合機3と、LAN(Local Area Network)4とを備える。
次に、デジタル複合機3の動作状態について説明する。デジタル複合機3は、ユーザの使用状況に応じて、消費電力がそれぞれ異なる通常モード及び省電力モードのどちらかのモードで動作する。
次に、図2~図8を参照して、本実施の形態におけるネットワークシステムの動作を説明する。
05BでYES)、プリンタ部391は、出力対象プリントデータ50をプリント出力する(ステップS605C)。このとき、出力対象プリントデータ50が、データ記憶部34から削除される。
本発明によれば、デジタル複合機3は、省電力モードで動作している場合、PC1によって格納された処理対象データ(プリントデータ50及びファックスデータ51のうち少なくともいずれか一方のデータ)の格納先情報55を受信し(ステップS501)、受信した格納先情報55を記憶する(ステップS502)。デジタル複合機3は、省電力モードが解除された場合、記憶した格納先情報55に基づいて、処理対象データが格納されているLAN4上のデータ格納部21にアクセスする。そして、デジタル複合機3は、処理対象データをネットワーク経由で取得し(ステップS603及びS607)、処理対象データに対して所定の処理を実行する(ステップS605及びS609)。上記のように、デジタル複合機3は、省電力モードで動作している場合、処理対象データの実体を記憶するのではなく、PC1によって格納された処理対象データの格納先情報55を、記憶している。格納先情報55の容量は、処理対象データの実体の容量と比較すると非常に小さいため、省電力モードにおいて電力が供給される記憶部の記憶容量を小さくすることができる。また、省電力モードが解除された場合に、処理対象データを取得し、処理対象データに対する所定の処理を実行するため、デジタル複合機3の復帰回数を減らすことができる。
前記実施形態では、格納先情報55は、処理対象データの種別を特定する情報を含んでいる場合の例を示したが、この情報は必ずしも含んでいる必要はない。この場合、ステップS602~S603及びS606~S607の処理を実行することができなくなる。しかしながら、この場合、データ取得部36が、データ格納部21に格納されている全ての処理対象データ(プリントデータ50及びファックスデータ51のうち少なくともいずれか一方のデータ)を取得してから、プリントデータ50及びファックスデータ51のどちらであるかを判断すればよい。
