<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that a fogged image arises because a photoreceptive drum is extremely shaved by a use state due to the long rotation time of the photoreceptive drum when time for image forming operation is made long. <P>SOLUTION: Even in the case that image information having a large information quantity is sent from a host computer and the time for the image forming operation is made long during continuous printing, image processing time is calculated from the image information quantity by a CPU, so that the rotation of the photoreceptive drum is stopped in accordance with the image processing time. Also, the rotation of the photoreceptive drum is stopped in accordance with the detected temperature of a temperature thermistor at the end part of a fixing part even in the case that the time for the image forming operation is made long by suppressing temperature rising at the paper non-feeding part of a fixing unit when the continuous printing is performed on paper whose width is small. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
