Abstract:
A fixing apparatus includes: a fixing member including a heater as a heat source; and a hardware processor that uses pulse width modulation (PWM) control to control power supplied to the heater; wherein the hardware processor changes a duty of the PWM control within a half cycle of an input current of the PWM control.

Claim (Index 5):
The fixing apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising a temperature detector that detects a temperature of the fixing member,\n wherein the hardware processor stores a plurality of the relationships, and the hardware processor selects one relationship out of the plurality of relationships stored in the hardware processor on the basis of the temperature detected by the temperature detector, and sets the duty on the basis of the relationship selected by the hardware processor.
