Abstract:
An intermediate transfer body is efficiently heated, and thus, transfer properties of an image and durability of the intermediate transfer body are ensured. A heating unit heats the intermediate transfer body by using a plurality of heating sources which are positioned by being shifted in a rotation direction of the intermediate transfer body. The plurality of heating sources includes a first heating source and a second heating source, a degree of heating the intermediate transfer body by the second heating source being higher than a degree of heating the intermediate transfer body by the first heating source. The second heating source is positioned on an upstream side in the rotation direction from the first heating source.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the heating unit includes a fourth heating source heating the intermediate transfer body with a degree of heating lower than or equal to the degree of heating by the first heating source, the fourth heating source being positioned on a downstream side in the rotation direction from the first heating source.
