IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING HEATING AMOUNT

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes: a fixing member; a heating section; and a control section, the control section being configured to control the heating section such that, the heating section heats the fixing member with a first heating amount during a period from a first timing until a second timing, and the heating section heats the fixing member with a second heating amount smaller than the first heating amount and greater than 0 during a period from the second timing until a third timing.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a fixing member configured to fix an unfixed toner image formed on a sheet to the sheet at a fixing nip; a heating section configured to heat the fixing member; and a control section configured to control the heating section such that, when an operation state of the fixing member is transferred from a first operation state in which fixation is performed to a second operation state, the heating section heats the fixing member with a first heating amount during a period from a first timing at which the first operation state is started until a second timing which is a timing before the first operation state is completed, and the heating section heats the fixing member with a second heating amount smaller than the first heating amount and greater than 0 during a period from the second timing until a third timing at which the second operation state is started.
