Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit to form a toner image on a recording material based on image data, an acquisition unit to acquire image information of the toner image from the image data, a fixing unit including a heating member and a pressure member forming a nip with the heating member, to convey and to heat, at the nip, the recording material on which the toner image is formed so as to fix the toner image on the recording material, a temperature detecting unit to detect a temperature of the heating member, and a control unit to set a fixing temperature for each of a plurality of recording materials so that the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit becomes the set fixing temperature.

Claim (Index 9):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n an image forming unit configured to form a toner image on a recording material based on image data; an acquisition unit configured to acquire image information of the toner image from the image data; a fixing unit including a heating member and a pressure member forming a nip with the heating member, configured to convey and to heat, at the nip, the recording material on which the toner image is formed so as to fix the toner image on the recording material; a temperature detecting unit configured to detect a temperature of the heating member; and a control unit configured to set a fixing temperature for each of a plurality of recording materials so that the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit becomes the set fixing temperature, wherein the acquisition unit acquires the image information of the toner image to be formed on a first recording material of the plurality of recording materials to an N-th recording material of the plurality of recording materials, in a job in which the toner image is continuously formed on the plurality of recording materials, N being an integer greater than two, and wherein, in a case when the toner image on a k-th recording material of the plurality of recording materials is a toner image formed by using a single color toner and the toner image on a (k\u22121)-th recording material of the plurality of recording materials is a toner image formed by interposing a plurality of color toners, k being an integer greater than or equal to two, and less than or equal to N, the control unit sets the fixing temperature of the k-th recording material to a temperature that is greater than a temperature predetermined based on the image information of the toner image formed by using the single color toner.
