Abstract:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes: a determination unit that determines toner application amounts based on image data; a memory device that stores a set of instructions; and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to: control fixing temperature for fixing a toner image formed from the image data to a printing medium in accordance with information created for each printing page by analyzing the determined toner application amounts; and fix the toner image to a printing medium at the controlled fixing temperature. The determination unit divides each printing page of the image data into a plurality of meshes of a predetermined size and determines positions corresponding to the meshes obtained by the dividing, and counts the toner application amounts of pixels in each of the meshes based on a determination result of the determining of the positions and the image data.

Claim (Index 7):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an image forming apparatus comprising:\n a memory device that stores a set of instructions; and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:\n detect toner application amounts from image data; \n control fixing temperature for fixing a toner image formed from the image data to a printing medium in accordance with information created for each printing page by analyzing the toner application amounts detected by the detecting; and \n fix the toner image to a printing medium at the controlled fixing temperature, \n wherein the detecting includes\n dividing each of the printing pages of the image data into a plurality of meshes of a predetermined size and determining positions corresponding to the plurality of meshes obtained by the dividing, and \n counting the toner application amounts of pixels in each of the plurality of meshes based on a determination result of the determining and the image data.
