Light of a light emitting portion is received by a total of two light receiving portions disposed opposite to each other through a record medium. The surface condition of the record medium is detected corresponding to the amount of light reflected and the amount of light transmitted so as to determine whether the record medium placed is plain paper, coated paper, OHP film, or the like. By controlling the number of heating elements of a heater or turning on/off the heater, an optimum fixing condition is accomplished.
