An embodiment provides an image forming apparatus including: a job acquiring unit that acquires an image forming job that gives instructions for performing forming of an image; an image forming process control unit that controls performance of the image forming job that the job acquiring unit acquires; a temperature information acquiring unit that acquires information showing temperature of the heating rotary body; a determining unit that determines whether the temperature of the heating rotary body which is acquired by the temperature information acquiring unit is equal to or higher than a predetermined stand-by temperature set as a temperature in a stand-by state that stands by to perform the image forming process, when the image forming process is completed, based on the image forming job by the image forming process control unit; and a fixing device control unit, which controls the fixing device, performs a first stand-by control process that increases the temperature of the heating rotary body to the stand-by temperature by heating the heating rotary body with the heating member while rotating the heating rotary body with the heating rotary body and the pressing body in contact, when the determining unit determines that the temperature of the heating rotary body is lower than the stand-by temperature. Further, the fixing device control unit stops the rotation of the heating rotary body and performs a second stand-by control process that makes the fixing device stand by, without heating the heating rotary body with the heating member, when the determining unit determines that the temperature of the heating rotary body is the stand-by temperature or higher.
