Abstract:
Disclosed is image forming apparatus, including a first roller and a second roller that conveys the recording sheet by sandwiching the recording sheet in a fixing process of an image forming; a pressing actuator that presses the first roller and the second roller against each other; an actuating motor that actuates the first roller; a brake that applies a brake force to the second roller; a rotation speed detector that detects a rotation speed of the second roller; and a hardware processor that judges a degradation of each surface roughness of the first roller and the second roller in accordance with the rotation speed of the second roller, which is detected when the first roller is actuated in a situation in which the first roller and the second roller are pressed against each other and when the brake applies a predetermined brake force to the second roller.

Claim (Index 17):
The image forming apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the predetermined temperature is set to a plurality of temperatures,\n the rotation speed measurer measures the rotation speed of the second roller when the temperature of the fixing place reaches one of the plurality of temperatures, and the hardware processor changes the fixing control parameter in accordance with the rotation speeds which are measured when the temperature of the fixing place reaches one of the plurality of temperatures.
