<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make shortening of restoration time from a standby state and energy saving compatible for even a user highly frequently using paper sheets other than ordinary paper sheets, by providing standby temperature conditions corresponding to paper type and paper thickness. <P>SOLUTION: A wait timer is turned on after the end of an image forming operation to wait for a time arbitrarily determined by discriminating presence/no presence of a print order, and a fixing temperature target is changed to T0-X in accordance with an elapsed time to reduce the temperature. In the case of the presence of a print order, fixing mode data are acquired, and the fixing mode of the print order is changed in accordance with the data, and the fixing temperature target is set to T0, and the completion of preparations for fixing is determined when the detection value of a fixing temperature reaches T0. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
