Title: Image forming apparatus
Inventor: NEMOTO EIJI
IPC: G03G15/20
Filed: 2003-02-07
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten optimum warm-up time for an image forming apparatus provided with a fixing device using a radiation heater and to improve a fixing property without increasing a high harmonic electric current and a fluctuation in power source voltage (flicker noise).  <P>SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus, voltage supplied to the radiation heater 12 is DC voltage by a DC power source circuit 24, and the state of the system constitution of a copying machine is detected based on the detected information of a connection detection block 29, and the output voltage value of the DC power source circuit 24 is varied by a heater temperature control block 28 in accordance with the detected state of the system constitution of the copying machine, so that the shortening of warm-up time or the like is attained by increasing electric power for the heater in the case that the state of the system constitution is light. Then, since the electric power supplied to the radiation heater 12 is varied by varying the voltage value of the DC voltage, the high harmonic electric current or the like is not increased as compared with a system for performing the phase control of full wave output by an electric power switching element such as a triac.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
