ABSTRACT:
A fixing device for an image forming apparatus includes a heating roller and a press roller. The press roller is pressed against the heating roller, and the heating roller and the press roller operate to fix an image on a document. The fixing device also includes a heat source that heats the heating roller. The heat source is configured to activate to heat the heating roller substantially when the heating roller and the press roller start to rotate, independent of a temperature of the heating roller.
