Also in the image processing apparatus 10A according to the present embodiment, the main body 1 has the fluctuation generating portion 31 and the connection identifying portion 32. The fluctuation generating portion 31 fluctuates the output power of the power supply portion that supplies the power to the load. The connection identifying portion 32 identifies the connection relationship between the power supply portion and the load based on the correlative relationship between a fluctuation of the output power and a fluctuation of the power supplied to the load.
It is to be understood that the embodiments herein are illustrative and not restrictive, since the scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims rather than by the description preceding them, and all changes that fall within metes and bounds of the claims, or equivalence of such metes and bounds thereof are therefore intended to be embraced by the claims.
