Abstract:
An apparatus includes a control portion and an acquisition portion that acquires a plurality of count values indicating heat accumulation amounts of a plurality of heating regions heated by a plurality of heat generating elements. The control portion controls individual heat generating quantities of the plurality of heat generating elements so that a difference between a first count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a heating region heated by a first heat generating element among the plurality of heat generating elements and a second count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a heating region heated by a second heat generating element among the plurality of heat generating elements is maintained within a predetermined range.

Claim (Index 3):
The image heating apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the first heat generating element is a heat generating element, the heating region of which overlaps an edge of the recording material in the longitudinal direction, among the plurality of heat generating elements, and wherein the second heat generating element is a heat generating element disposed on an inner side in the longitudinal direction than the first heat generating element, among the plurality of heat generating elements.
