A method for controlling fixing temperature of a fixing device capable of fixing a toner image on recording paper in an image forming apparatus. A fixing temperature of the fixing device is determined in response to a selected one of plural paper feeders. The fixing temperature is set low, if the paper path of the selected paper feeder is turned path. The fixing temperature is set high, if the selected paper feeder is a FRR paper feeder. Information to determine the fixing temperature in accordance with the selected paper feeder is stored in a memory in a fixing temperature controller, and the temperature is controlled by the controller.
