An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a sheet tray, a pressure plate configured to lift up a sheet to a feedable position, a fixing device, a driving source configured to supply a driving force for a driving operation of driving the pressure plate and the fixing device, an interface, and a controller. A temperature of the fixing device is detected by a temperature sensor of the fixing device. The controller is configured to start heating the fixing device in response to receipt of a printing instruction, and start the driving operation on condition that the temperature reaches a particular temperature. The controller sets the particular temperature to a first temperature X1 when the pressure plate has placed the sheet to the feedable position, and a second temperature X2 lower than the first temperature X1 when the pressure plate has not placed the sheet to the feedable position.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein, in response to the sheet tray being detached from the main body, the pressure plate is moved downward to a lowermost position.
