Abstract:
An image forming apparatus comprises an image forming section; a fixing device; an input section; a storage section which stores a target temperature of the fixing device in a case of carrying out the fixing processing and a target temperature of the fixing device in a case of carrying out the erasing processing; and a control section which controls to read out lower one of the target temperature of the fixation and the target temperature of the erasure from the storage section to set the lower one to the target temperature of the fixing device in a case in which the processing information of the fixing processing and the erasing processing is input by the input section and the processing is continuously carried out, and drive the fixing device via the driving section at a driving speed corresponding to each of the fixing processing and the erasing processing.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n an image forming section configured to form an image on an image receiving medium; a fixing device configured to carry out a fixing process for heating the image receiving medium at a predetermined driving speed and a predetermined first target temperature to fix the image formed by the image forming section at the target temperature, or to carry out an erasing process for erasing the image formed on the image receiving medium at a second target temperature different from the first target temperature of the fixing process; a driver configured to drive the fixing device at a plurality of driving speeds; an input section configured to input processing information of at least one of the fixing process and the erasing process; a storage section configured to store a first target temperature of the fixing device in a case in which the fixing device carries out the fixing process and a second target temperature of the fixing device in a case in which the fixing device carries out the erasing process; and a controller configured to control to read out a lower one of the first target temperature of the fixing process and the second target temperature of the erasing process from the storage section to set a temperature of the fixing device to the lower one of the first or second target temperature in a case in which the processing information of the fixing process and the erasing process is input by the input section and the processing is continuously carried out, and drive the fixing device via the driver at the driving speed corresponding to each process of the fixing process and the erasing process depending on if processing information is single processing or a plurality of processing.
