Abstract:
An image heating apparatus includes a cylindrical film, a heater, a roller forming a nip with the film, a first temperature sensor in a first area of the film passed by a minimum width sheet that is capable of being fed by the apparatus, a second temperature sensor in a second area of the heater which is outside an area to be passed by a minimum width sheet and which is passed by a maximum width sheet, a third temperature sensor in a third area of the heater outside the second area, and a controller. When a large width sheet is heated, the controller executes a first heater control responsive to the temperatures detected by the first temperature sensor and by the second temperature sensor. When a small width sheet is heated, the controller executes a second heater responsive to the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor only.

Claim (Index 4):
An image heating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, in the first heater control, said controller controls electric power supplied to said heater so that the temperature detected by said second temperature detecting element is a target temperature of said second temperature detecting element, and wherein said controller changes the target temperature of said second temperature detecting element depending on the difference between a target temperature of said first temperature detecting element and the temperature detected by said first temperature detecting element.
