Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device, a controller, and a storage. The fixing device includes a fixing part that fixes a toner image on a sheet, a heating part that heats the fixing part, and a detecting part that detects an actual temperature of the fixing part. The controller controls the actual temperature of the fixing part based on a target temperature of the fixing part and a cumulative deviation of the actual temperature of the fixing part. The storage stores a convergence value of the cumulative deviation. Every time a heating operation to the fixing part by the heating part is executed, the controller updates the convergence value of the cumulative deviation stored in the storage by a convergence value of the cumulative deviation of a latest heating operation.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein, in executing the heating operation to the fixing part by the heating part, the controller rewrites the cumulative deviation used to control the actual temperature of the fixing part using the convergence value of the cumulative deviation stored in the storage at a time when the actual temperature of the fixing part exceeds a threshold temperature lower than the target temperature of the fixing part.
