ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND STORAGE MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus which can avoid the inconvenience due to the short-circuit resulting from such a situation that a cable terminal having a different standard specification is erroneously inserted to a connector without installing an erroneous insertion prevention member.SOLUTION: An image formation apparatus 100 includes: a wired LAN communication unit 306 which performs wired LAN communication with an external device 309; a USB communication unit 308 which performs USB communication with the external device 309; a wired LAN communication power source unit 305 which supplies a power source to the wired LAN communication unit 306; and a CPU 300 which controls the wired LAN communication power source unit 305. The CPU 300 controls the wired LAN communication power source unit 305 to stop power supply to the wired LAN communication unit 306 when determining that the wired LAN communication unit 306 is not used.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4A 【課題】誤挿入防止部材を設置することなく、コネクタに規格の異なるケーブル端子が誤挿入されることによる短絡に起因する不都合を回避できる電子機器を提供する。【解決手段】画像形成装置１００は、外部装置３０９と有線ＬＡＮ通信を行う有線ＬＡＮ通信部３０６と、外部装置３０９とＵＳＢ通信を行うＵＳＢ通信部３０８と、有線ＬＡＮ通信部３０６に電源を供給する有線ＬＡＮ通信電源部３０５と、有線ＬＡＮ通信電源部３０５を制御するＣＰＵ３００と、を備え、ＣＰＵ３００は、有線ＬＡＮ通信部３０６が使用されないと判断した場合、有線ＬＡＮ通信電源部３０５に対し、有線ＬＡＮ通信部３０６への給電を停止するよう制御する。【選択図】図４Ａ
