<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that sets the optimal fixing temperature to every recording material during continuous printing, without an enormous amount of information and the need for selecting a specific mode. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus including a fixing device 20 for fixing an unfixed image on a recording medium P to the recording medium includes: target fixing temperature changing means for changing target fixing temperature during fixing processing; and gray scale processing means for subjecting image information to gray scale processing. The image forming apparatus is configured to change the target fixing temperature for every recording medium subjected to fixing processing based on the presence of halftone processing and the type of the gray scale processing to be used. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
