Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: an image forming part configured to form a developer image on a recording medium; a fuser part that includes a fuser member and a heat application member and that is configured to fix the developer image on the recording medium; a heat application control part configured to control the heat application member so that a temperature of the fuser member falls within a target temperature range that has been set; and a temperature setting part configured to set a first target temperature range and a second target temperature range, the first target temperature range being a target temperature range for a first fusion that is performed on a first recording medium, the second target temperature range being another target temperature range for a second fusion that is performed on a second recording medium, wherein the temperature setting part performs a target temperature range variation process to adjust the target temperature range to approach the second target temperature range from the first target temperature range during a fusion process of the first recording medium by the fuser member.
