Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a developing section, a transfer section, and a fixing section. The developing section attaches a metal-containing toner to a latent image, and attaches a non-metal-containing toner to the latent image. The transfer section transfers, onto an intermediate transfer medium, the metal-containing toner and transfers, onto a print medium, the metal-containing toner. The transfer section transfers, onto the intermediate transfer medium, the non-metal-containing toner and transfers, onto the print medium, the non-metal-containing toner. The fixing section fixes, to the print medium, the metal-containing toner, and fixes, to the print medium, the non-metal-containing toner. The fixing section causes a temperature at which the metal-containing toner is fixed to the print medium to be lower than a temperature at which the non-metal-containing toner is fixed to the print medium.

Claim (Index 9):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a controller that switches between a first mode and a second mode, the first mode forming, by use of a toner, an image on one side of a print medium, the second mode forming, by use of the toner, the image on both sides of the print medium; a developing section that attaches the toner to a latent image; a transfer section that transfers, onto an intermediate transfer medium, the toner attached to the latent image, and transfers, onto the print medium, the toner transferred onto the intermediate transfer medium; and a fixing section that includes a heating member and a pressure applying member, and fixes, to the print medium, the toner transferred onto the print medium, the heating member heating the print medium onto which the toner has been transferred, the pressure applying member applying a pressure onto the print medium onto which the toner has been transferred, the fixing section causing a temperature of the pressure applying member in the second mode to be lower than a temperature of the pressure applying member in the first mode.
