Abstract:
An image forming apparatus adds heat and pressure to a toner image formed on a sheet, fixes the toner image to the sheet. The apparatus detects a temperature of an end of a fixing device, cools the end of the fixing device, controls a cooling level by a cooling device in accordance with the temperature, predicts a discharge amount of ultra fine particles based on a parameter depending on the cooling level, controls an image forming operation such that the discharge amount of ultra fine particles is reduced in accordance with the discharge amount predicted.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising\n a selection unit configured to select a first temperature coefficient if the ambient temperature obtained the previous time is exceeding the convergence temperature, and to select a second temperature coefficient that is smaller than the first temperature coefficient if the ambient temperature obtained the previous time is not exceeding the convergence temperature, and pass the selected coefficient to the obtaining unit.
