PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation device capable of effectively saving power within set date and time. SOLUTION: Image data received on a holiday or at night are kept stored in an image memory 85 without being recorded on recording paper until reaching a prescribed amount to the entire capacity of the image memory 85. Then, when they reach the prescribed amount, a lamp 75a provided inside a fixing upper roller is lighted and the function of a recording part 17 is validated. When a heat-fixing device reaches a recording temperature for performing a recording operation, the image data are read from the image memory 85 and recorded on the recording paper. Then, after the recording of the image data is ended, the lamp 75a is put out and the function of the recording part 17 is invalidated. Thus, on the holiday or at night, the lamp 75a is put out after the recording of the image data is ended until the prescribed amount of received image data are stored in the image memory 85. Thus, on the holiday or at night, the power is effectively saved. |
