Abstract:
1. A fuser control device, comprising: a fuser device held by a holding member, the fuser device being configured to fuse a developing image to a printing medium; a fuser heater that is installed at the holding member, the fuser heater being configured to generate heat for at least a central part and a side part of a heat application roller; a first temperature detection part configured to detect a temperature of the fuser device and configured to transmit a temperature of the fuser device as a first detecting temperature; a second temperature detection part configured to detect a temperature of the holding member and configured to transmit a temperature of the holding member as a second detecting temperature; and a heat application control unit configured to control the temperature of the fuser device by changing a targeting temperature for the fuser device based on a controlling condition, wherein after the temperature of the fuser device has approached to the targeting temperature, the heat application control unit determines the controlling condition depending on an amount of heat generated by the fuser heater since a start of a printing process and the second detecting temperature.
