Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a fixing apparatus comprises a belt which is equipped with a conductive layer; an induction current generator which faces the belt and heats the conductive layer through an electromagnetic induction system; a magnetic material which faces the induction current generator across the belt; a measurement section which measures a state of the magnetic material; and a controller which controls a frequency applied to the induction current generator based on a measurement result of the measurement section in a case in which at least a print request is not received.

Claim (Index 10):
The fixing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n in the standby state, the controller separates a press roller from the belt, thereafter, stops a rotation of the belt, thereafter, acquires a temperature of the belt, thereafter, refers to a table, thereafter, determines a frequency applied to the induction current generator based on the temperature of the belt, thereafter, sets the determined frequency as the frequency applied to the induction current generator, thereafter, applies the set frequency to the induction current generator to heat the belt, thereafter, acquires the temperature of the belt, thereafter, determines whether or not the belt temperature reaches a target temperature, thereafter, and starts the rotation of the belt in a state in which the temperature of the belt reaches the target temperature.
