<p>An image forming apparatus to shorten a warm-up time required to fuse a visible image to a printing medium (S) is provided. The image forming apparatus includes an indirect heating member (62) to indirectly transfer radiant heat to the visible image formed on the printing medium (S) passing through the fusing nip, and a direct heating member (65) to directly transfer resistance heat to the visible image formed on the printing medium (S) passing through the fusing nip. Accordingly, since the radiant heat generated from the indirect heating member (62) heats the direct heating member (65), a heating rate of the direct heating member increases, and the warm-up time required to reach a predetermined fusing temperature to fuse the visible image is shortened.</p> |
