<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, an image forming program and a recording medium for forming an image with good image quality while improving the paper transporting property and also improving the environmental performance by making effective use of an image forming medium by using back paper, etc. <P>SOLUTION: A digital copying device 1 carries out: determination of paper to determine whether paper P which is the fixing object is back paper with images formed on both sides or normal paper with an image formed only on one side; detection of a fixed amount to the paper P which is the fixing object; calculation of fixed amount sums for the back paper and the normal paper based on the detection result of the fixed amount and the determination of the paper respectively as a sum for back paper fixed amount and a sum for normal paper fixed amount. At the same time, a prescribed weighing coefficient is multiplied by the sum of the back paper fixed amount sum, the total for the fixed amount is calculated by adding the back paper fixed amount sum and the normal fixed amount sum. Then, the traveling of a cleaning member which cleans a pressing roller on the cleaning surface by making contact with the pressing roller of a fixing unit 90 is controlled based on the calculated fixed total and a prescribed service life determination threshold. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
