An image forming apparatus capable of performing image formation quickly and reducing power consumption. The image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms images by transferring toners to sheets and fixing the toners onto the sheets using a fixing section. A page count is acquired which is indicative of the number of pages on which image formation can be formed within a time period required before the temperature of the fixing section rises from a first temperature to a second temperature. Then, when it is determined that rendering of PDL data for pages in the page count is completed, if all of the pages in the page count are for the text images, the image forming unit is controlled such that printing is started when the temperature of the fixing section has reached the first temperature. |
