Abstract:
In a fixing apparatus having a heater that can selectively heat a plurality of heating blocks, which are divided in the longitudinal direction of a substrate, an power supply control portion corrects the amount of current to be supplied to a plurality of heat generating elements, based on the temperatures detected by each of a plurality of temperature detecting portions, so that a difference of a temperature rising amount per unit time among the heating blocks becomes small when the fixing apparatus starts up.

Claim (Index 6):
The image heating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the heat generating element has a positive temperature resistance characteristic or a negative temperature resistance characteristic.
