Abstract:
An energization controlling portion selectively controls energization of a plurality of heat generating elements so that electric power to be supplied to the heat generating elements to heat a non-image heating region, through which an image formed on a recording material does not pass, among a plurality of heating regions of an image heating portion, is smaller than electric power to be supplied to the heat generating elements to heat an image heating region, through which the image passes, among the plurality of heating regions. When an abnormality detecting portion detects an abnormality in an image forming apparatus, the energization controlling portion increases the electric power to be supplied to the heat generating elements to heat the non-image heating region.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising an optical device for irradiating a photosensitive member with laser light, in order to form an electrostatic image on the photosensitive member, the electrostatic image being used for forming the image, which is formed on the recording material, on the photosensitive member,\n wherein the abnormality detecting portion includes a sensor for detecting a scanning period of the laser light by the optical device, and detects the abnormality based on the scanning period detected by the sensor.
