PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further save power by preventing decrease in power use efficiency in a heat fixing process.SOLUTION: For each of different printing conditions, output priority determined based on the amount of power used for heating operation corresponding to each printing condition is related with a corresponding printing condition, and stored in, for example, NV-RAM, as a printing condition/output priority correspondence table. When a plurality of print jobs of different printing conditions are successively output, a controller refers to the printing condition/output priority correspondence table stored in the NV-RAM or the like, obtains output priority related to a printing condition assigned to each print job, and, according to the obtained output priority, sets output order for the print jobs to be output. |
