<p>A fixing apparatus includes a heating unit configured to heat a sheet having a layer of decolorizable toner applied thereon, a pressing unit configured to press the sheet towards the heating unit, and a control unit. The heating unit includes a roll member, an elastic layer formed on an outer periphery of the roll member, and a heat generating unit. The control unit is configured to control the heat generating unit, such that a first temperature at a portion of a first surface of the decolorizable toner layer contacting the heating unit is lower than a first predetermined temperature at which the decolorizable toner is decolorized, and a second temperature at a portion of the second surface of the decolorizable toner layer opposite to the first surface is higher than a second predetermined temperature at which the decolorizable toner is fixed onto the sheet.</p> |
