PURPOSE:To increase efficiency of copying operation by storing the operational condition of a start switch when the start switch is operated before a fixing device reaches a fixed temperature and automatically turning on the start switch after the fixing device reaches the fixed temperature. CONSTITUTION:When a power source switch is turned on, power is supplied only to a heat roller 16, which emits heat. However, a copying action does not start. The way that the start switch is operated is stored, and after the heat roller 16 reaches the fixed temperature, a start lamp is lit to start the copying operation. Consequently, an operator need not to wait in front of the copying machine until the fixing device reaches the fixed temperature, and he can do something while waiting. When the start switch is operated while the operator waits for the start of the copying machine main body, the copying action starts the instant that the fixing device 14 reaches the fixed temperature, thereby increasing copying efficiency. |
