Abstract:
An apparatus includes a control portion and an acquisition portion that acquires a plurality of count values indicating heat accumulation amounts of a plurality of heating regions heated by a plurality of heat generating elements. The control portion controls individual heat generating quantities of the plurality of heat generating elements so that a difference between a first count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a heating region heated by a first heat generating element among the plurality of heat generating elements and a second count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a heating region heated by a second heat generating element among the plurality of heat generating elements is maintained within a predetermined range.

Claim (Index 1):
An image heating apparatus comprising:\n a heater having a plurality of heat generating elements arranged in a longitudinal direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of a recording material; and a control portion capable of controlling electric power to be supplied to the plurality of heat generating elements to control individual heat generating quantities of the plurality of heat generating elements, wherein an image formed on the recording material is heated by the heat generated by the heater, wherein the image heating apparatus comprises an acquisition portion that acquires a plurality of count values indicating heat accumulation amounts of a plurality of heating regions heated by the plurality of heat generating elements, and wherein the control portion controls the heat generating quantities of the plurality of heat generating elements so that a difference between a first count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a heating region heated by a first heat generating element among the plurality of heat generating elements and a second count value indicating a heat accumulation amount of a heating region heated by a second heat generating element among the plurality of heat generating elements is maintained within a predetermined range.
