PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus configured to prevent reduction in temperature while reducing the influence on the service life of a fixing apparatus.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes: a fixing apparatus which forms a nip between a first rotation body containing at least one heating element in order to generate and output a printed matter on the basis of a print job, and a second rotation body in pressure contact with the first rotation body, to fix a toner image to a sheet introduced from a transfer unit to the nip; and a control circuit for adjusting a surface temperature of the first rotation body by controlling power to be supplied to the heating element. The control circuit acquires the time elapsed from the end of a previous print job and the number of sheet printed per unit time immediately before executing a current print job, and reduces the surface temperature of the first rotation body as the obtained elapsed time is shorter and the number of printed sheet is larger, to prevent reduction in surface temperature of the first rotation body when the sheet passes through the nip (S06-S09). |
