Image Forming Apparatus That Ensures Reduced Deterioration of Image Quality Caused by Driving of Fixing Pressure Changing Mechanism, Image Forming Method, and Recording Medium

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a fixing unit, an image reading unit, and a control unit. The fixing unit includes a first roller, a second roller, and a displacement mechanism that displaces at least one of the first roller and the second roller to form a nip portion. The image reading unit includes a scanning mechanism that scans by moving a carriage where a light source is mounted. The control unit executes a driving of the scanning mechanism and a driving of the displacement mechanism at different times.
