Abstract:
An image forming apparatus which can accurately predict occurrence of damage to a fixing rotary member due to passage of a recording material and prevent consequential deterioration of a formed image. The image forming apparatus includes: a pair of fixing rotary members constituting a nip part for nipping a recording material on which a toner image is formed; a surface homogenizing member for homogenizing the surface of the fixing rotary member; a hardware processor that acquires physical property information of the recording material; and a controller for controlling drive of the surface homogenizing member according to the physical property information of the recording material acquired by the hardware processor that acquires the physical property information.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the controller has a count value memory which stores the count value linked to each of classes into which values of the physical property information are divided.
