Abstract:
A fixing apparatus is operable in relation to either of a first nominal voltage and a second nominal voltage, as an alternating voltage of a commercial alternating current power supply. The apparatus detects the alternating voltage and a temperature of a first heater or a first rotating member. A driving circuit supplies to the first heater a power if a drive signal is being inputted, and to not supply to the first heater the power if the drive signal is not being inputted. A controller determines a duty ratio of the drive signal to be a first duty ratio or a second duty ratio smaller than the first duty ratio.

Claim (Index 8):
The fixing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the predetermined voltage is set to an intermediate value between the first nominal voltage and the second nominal voltage.
