control is exercised to provide a temperature of 200 u00b0 c in ten seconds while the film 92 and the pressurizing roller 93 are halted during this time while waiting for the next print signal the toner is softened and immediately after the film 92 and the pressurizing roller 93 are driven at the start of printing the softened toner is transferred to the fixing film 92 see fig4 pre rotation temperature control will now be described as the second control process for this control process the temperature of the heater 91 is controlled so that u201c stained toner u201d consisting of particles too tiny to be identified that were transferred to the film 92 under post heating control will not be re transferred to the pressurizing roller 93 while preparations for the next fixing process are being made the pre rotation temperature control sequence the second control process will be described while referring to fig5 first immediately after a print signal is received the supply of power to the heater 91 and the driving of the motor are initiated simultaneously a first target temperature t 1 of 120 u00b0 c is set and is maintained for a predetermined time in this embodiment 8 seconds to.
