Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion configured to form an image on a recording material; a fixing portion including a cylindrical heat transfer member and a heating member contacting an inner surface of the heat transfer member and configured to fix the image on the recording material by heating the image-formed recording material by heat from the heating member through the heat transfer member; and a control unit configured to control a target temperature of the heating member. The control unit analyzes whether or not a plurality of pixels, of image data corresponding to the image to be formed on the recording material, in each interval corresponding to a circumferential length of the heat transfer member with respect to a recording material feeding direction are pixels for forming an image with a predetermined density or more, and sets the target temperature depending on an analyzation result.

Claim (Index 5):
An image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a print image processing unit configured to change the image to be formed on the recording material to bitmapped image data,\n wherein on the basis of the bitmapped image data, said control unit analyzes whether or not the plurality of pixels in each interval corresponding to the circumferential length of said heat transfer member with respect to the recording material feeding direction are the pixels for forming the image with the predetermined density or more.
