| 发明名称 | Image forming apparatus executing image adjustment during fixing temperature waiting time | ||
| 摘要 | According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus has a fixing unit which heats an image formed on a recording medium using a discolorable coloring material which discolors by heating, at a fixing temperature lower than a heating temperature at which the discolorable coloring material discolors, to fix the image on the recording medium. The image forming apparatus has an operation control unit which controls execution of an image stabilization processing during a waiting time till a heating temperature of the fixing unit becomes the fixing temperature. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An image forming apparatus, comprising; an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording medium using a discolorable coloring material which discolors by heating; a fixing unit configured to heat the image at a fixing temperature lower than a heating temperature at which the discolorable coloring material discolors, to fix the image on the recording medium; a temperature control unit configured to control a heating temperature of the fixing unit to the fixing temperature; and an operation control unit configured to control execution of an image stabilization processing during a waiting time till the heating temperature of the fixing unit falls from a temperature higher than the fixing temperature to the fixing temperature, wherein the operation control unit terminates the image stabilization processing when the heating temperature of the fixing unit becomes the fixing temperature. | ||
