ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a temperature of a heating device in an image processing apparatus includes the steps of: setting the temperature of the heating device to a first temperature corresponding to a standby temperature upon activation of the image processing apparatus; increasing the temperature of the heating device to a second temperature corresponding to a fixing temperature upon activation of an image forming operation; increasing the temperature of the heating device to a third temperature higher than the second temperature upon consecutive activation of the image forming operation; and decreasing the temperature of the heating device back to the first temperature upon termination of the image forming operation.
