Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion  10  for forming an image on a sheet  16  by using a developer  15  including toner and a curable agent curable by ultraviolet radiation, a feeding belt  14  for feeding the sheet on which the image is formed by the image forming portion  10,  an infrared irradiating portion  13  for irradiating, with infrared radiation, the image on the sheet  16  fed by the feeding belt  14,  an ultraviolet irradiating portion  12  for irradiating, with the ultraviolet radiation, the image on the sheet having been irradiated with the infrared radiation by the infrared irradiating portion  13,  and a controller  50  for controlling operations of the feeding belt  14  and the infrared irradiating portion  13.  The controller  50  causes the infrared irradiating portion  13  to irradiate the feeding belt  14  with the infrared radiation while causing the feeding belt  14  to rotate in a stand-by state in which the controller  50  waits for an execution instruction of an image forming operation in a state in which the image forming operation is capable of being started.

Claim (Index 10):
An image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein in a case that an execution instruction of an image forming operation is inputted in a period from turning-on of a power switch of said image forming apparatus until said image forming apparatus is in the stand-by state, said controller causes said image forming apparatus to start the image forming operation without going to the stand-by state.
