<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming system equipped with a color image forming apparatus and a monochrome image forming apparatus, which can print images independently of each other, wherein power saving is attained by changing the setting of fixing temperature in the midst of standby in a fixing device of each image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The setting of the fixing temperature in the midst of standby is changed for the fixing device inside the monochrome image forming apparatus 2 and the fixing device inside the color image forming apparatus 1 based on the coexistence rate of color data and monochrome data in printing data. The coexistence rate is obtained from frequency in switching the color data and the monochrome data in the printing data and total number of pages of the printing data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
