Abstract:
1. A image forming system comprising: a image forming device for forming a toner image on a recording material; a first image heating device for heating the toner image on the recording material at a first nip, said first image heating device being heated by a first heater so as to maintain a target temperature; a second image heating device for heating the toner image on the recording material, which has been heated by said first image heating device, at a second nip provided at a position is different from the first nip, said second image heating device being heated by a second heater so as to maintain a target temperature; a selecting device for selecting one of image forming modes including a first image forming mode in which only said first image heating device is used for a image heating process and a second image forming mode in which said first image heating device and said second image heating device are used for the image heating process; and a delaying device for making timing at which the target temperature of said first image heating device is lowered in a stand by state later than a timing at which the target temperature of said second image heating device is lowered in the stand by state.
