Original Abstract Submitted

An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first trigger frame including information regarding orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard, from an external access point provided on an outside of the image forming apparatus, while the first mode is enabled, a communication unit configured to execute communication processing of the first mode by the OFDMA compliant with the IEEE802.11 standard, based on the information regarding the first trigger frame, and a control unit configured to control the image forming apparatus in such a manner that the OFDMA compliant with the IEEE802.11 standard is not executed in wireless communication of the second mode, based on the second mode being enabled, even in a case where the OFDMA compliant with the IEEE802.11 standard is enabled in the first mode.
