A fixing device fixes a toner image on a recording material. The fixing device has a fixing member having a heat source, a sensor which senses a surface temperature of the fixing member, a measuring section which obtains temperature-rising time information of the fixing member based on information from the sensor, an abnormality determining section which compares the temperature-rising time information obtained by the measuring section with reference value information to determine whether or not an abnormality exists, and an adjusting section which adjusts the reference value information of the abnormality determining section. |
