Claim Text:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image forming part configured to perform a printing operation; and a controller configured to control the image forming part, such that if the image forming apparatus receives a printing data and starts a warming up period, the image forming apparatus accelerates a pick up timing of a first page of a recording medium of a job, corresponding to the printing data at a warm up pick up timing, and adjusts a printing speed of the first page of the job based on a fusing temperature and a rate of rise of the fusing temperature during the warming up period, at least one page subsequent to the first page is printed, corresponding to the printing data at a reference pick up timing and performs the printing operation at a reference printing speed, wherein the reference pick up timing corresponds to a reference duration according to the reference printing speed, the accelerated pick up timing is earlier than the reference pick up timing, and the adjusted warm up printing speed is slower than the reference printing speed, and wherein the printing of the at least one page subsequent to the first page is started at the reference printing speed prior to completion of the warming up period.
