<p>A method and apparatus for controlling a fusing temperature, and an image forming apparatus are provided. In the method of controlling a fusing temperature, power is supplied to a heat source (460) included inside a heat roller (450) at on/off chopping rates determined according to the temperature of the heat roller (450) during a time period in which the temperature of the heat roller (450) is rising, and power is supplied to the heat source (460) at on/off chopping rates which are respectively increased by a predetermined value with respect to the determined on/off chopping rates during a time period in which the temperature of the heat roller (450) is falling. Accordingly, a fusing property can be prevented from degrading in an initial printing process after a cold start occurs in a fusing unit, and thus a first print out time (FPOT) can be reduced.</p> |
