<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of signal lines than that of a plurality of temperature detection elements even when the plurality of temperature detection elements are provided. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus comprises: an image forming sections StY, StM, StC, and StK; a fixing belt 1101 and a ceramic heater 1104; a thermistor 1040b provided in the ceramic heater 1104; a CPU521 for controlling heating of the ceramic heater 1104 so that an output voltage Vm of the thermistor 1040b is a target voltage Vt; and thermistors 1040a and 1040c provided in the ceramic heater 1104 and connected in parallel. The CPU521 stops the heating of the ceramic heater 1104 when an output voltage Vs of the thermistors 1040a and 1040c connected in parallel is equal to or less than a reference voltage Vb. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
