| 发明名称 | Image forming apparatus | ||
| 摘要 | An image forming apparatus includes a fixing unit including a fixing member that heats a developer for fixing the developer to a medium, a temperature control unit that heats the fixing member and controls a temperature of the fixing member, a transport member that transports the medium through the fixing unit, and a transport control unit that controls a transport speed at which the transport member transports the medium. At least one of before and after an image forming operation, the image forming apparatus performs a temperature control operation of the fixing unit while transporting the medium through the fixing unit. When the image forming apparatus performs the temperature control operation at least one of before and after the image forming operation, the transport control unit causes the transport member to transport the medium at a transport speed slower than a fastest transport speed among a plurality of preset transport speeds. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a fixing unit including a fixing member that heats a developer to fix the developer to a medium; a temperature control unit that heats the fixing member andcontrols a temperature of the fixing member; a transport member that transports the medium through the fixing unit; and a transport control unit that controls a transport speed at which the transport member transports the medium, wherein an image forming operation is stopped in a state where the fixing member contacts the medium and then started in the state where the fixing member contacts the medium,at least one of before and after the image forming operation, a temperature control operation of the fixing unit is performed while transporting the medium through the fixing unit, andthe transport control unit causes the transport member to transport the medium at a transport speed slower than a fastest transport speed among a plurality of preset transport speeds when the temperature control operation is performed at least one of before and after the image forming operation. | ||
