<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stabilize fixability by preventing the fixing temperature of a paper passing part from lowering in a continuous paper passing, particularily in a continuous paper passing of small size paper. <P>SOLUTION: After a motor for rotating a heat roller 61 is stopped, the stop time of the motor until it is driven again is measured by a timer 33. According to the stop time, a fixing control means 32 sets a fixing temperature. A plurality of threshold stop times are set for setting the fixing temperature. According to the result of a comparison between the threshold stop times and the actual stop time, the fixing temperature is set. In accordance with the outside air temperature detected by an outside air temperature sensor 31, the fixing temperature is set. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
