Abstract:
1. An image forming system comprising: an image forming unit adapted to form an image as a toner image on a printing medium; a first fixing unit adapted to fix, on the printing medium, the toner image formed by said image forming unit; a second fixing unit arranged at a position different from said first fixing unit and used when a larger amount of heat is necessary for fixing the toner image on the printing medium; and a control unit adapted to change a sequence of images formed by said image forming unit so that a toner image fixed on a first medium by using said second fixing unit is formed before a toner image fixed on a second medium without using said second fixing unit, wherein in a case where the sequence of images is changed, said control unit controls conveyance of the first medium and the second medium so that the first medium and the second medium are discharged in order of the sequence of images before the change.
