Provided is an image formation device which can be controlled not to exceed the maximum current of the commercial power supply, assure a desired fixing property, and minimize lowering of the image formation capability even when the current consumed by the image formation device increases during continuous image formation.The image formation device includes a current detection circuit which detects an input current from the commercial power supply to the device. If the current detected by the current detection circuit exceeds a predetermined value, the maximum current which can be applied to a fixing unit is limited. If the temperature of the fixing unit in the state that the maximum current applied to the fixing unit is limited is lowered than a predetermined temperature which is lower than a control target value, the feed interval of a recording member fed to the fixing unit is increased. |
