Accordingly, it is possible to allow a recipient to receive only desired messages sent through a filter without the sender specifying the recipient so that the message can reach wider audience by the server receiving a target and a filter, set by users, and a message inputted from the user and sending the message to the selected users using contents of the received message, the target, and the filter.

Abstract: An image fixing control system and method are provided comprising a power supply, a power switching unit, a heating roller, in which a temperature detector detects a temperature of the heating roller, and a controller detects a temperature variation slope of the heating roller using the temperature detected by the temperature detector and controls an on and off switching operation of the power switching unit according to the detected temperature variation slope. Accordingly, by varying a duty ratio of power through a phase control using a temperature variation slope of a heating roller, a fine control of a fixing system can be performed. In addition, since a temperature variation, that is, overshoot or undershoot, of the heating roller is reduced, a fixing efficiency can be increased.
