Abstract:
An image heating apparatus includes first and second rotatable members forming a nip for heating a toner image on a sheet, a first heater for heating the first rotatable member, having a heat generation power higher in a central portion than in opposite end portions with respect to a longitudinal direction of the first rotatable member, and a second heater for heating the first rotatable member, having a heat generation power higher in opposite end portions than in a central portion with respect to the longitudinal direction. A controller controls power supply to the first and second heaters in response to an output of a first sensor. In a stand-by state, the controller controls power supply to the first heater in response to the output of the first sensor and power supply to the second heater in response to an output of a second sensor.

Claim (Index 2):
An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein in a warming-up period, said controller control the electrical power supply to said first heater in response to an output of said first sensor and controls the electrical power supply to said second heater in response to an output of said second sensor.
