<p>An image forming apparatus includes a generator, image forming unit, fixing unit, fixing temperature setting unit, and heating control unit. The generator generates image drawing data including text and/or photo, page by page, from image data. The image forming unit forms a latent image based on image drawing data, and develops and transfers developed image onto a recording medium. The fixing unit, to fix developed image on recording medium, includes a fixing device (31) having a plurality of heaters (32a,32b,32c), and a surface of the fixing device is segmented into a plurality of heating areas (Ta,Tb,Tc) each corresponding to one of the plurality of heaters. The fixing temperature setting unit sets a control-target fixing temperature at each heating area by associating text and/or photo in image drawing data with each heating area. The heating control unit controls current supply to each heater to heat each heating area to the set control-target fixing temperature.</p> |
