<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which a wait time needed until an image formation is shortened and a power consumption for the image formation is reduced when receiving an instruction to perform the image formation during a stand-by state in a power-saving mode, . <P>SOLUTION: When the instruction to perform the image formation is received through an operation part (YES in S1, and YES in S2) during the power saving mode of a fixing part, a control part drives the fixing part in the power saving mode. At this time, the fixing part 45 is driven after decreasing the fixing speed of the fixing part 45 so that the fixing part 45 reaches temperatures necessary for a toner image to be fixed when recording paper is passed through the fixing part. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
