ABSTRACT:
A temperature controlling method is used to control a temperature of a heat roller for a fixing unit for use in a facsimile machine. A print engine prints a transmission report after information has been transmitted to a receiving end. An electric power is supplied to a heater in the heat concurrently with transmission of information to a receiving end so as to increase the temperature of the heat roller to a preheat temperature Tp. The heat roller is then maintained at the preheat temperature Tp during the transmission of the information to the receiving end. After the transmission of the information has been completed, the temperature of the heat roller is increased from the preheat temperature Tp to a fixing temperature Tf.
