Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes a fixing member configured to fix an image to a medium by heating the medium, a heating member configured to heat the fixing member, a pressure member pressed against the fixing member so as to presses the medium against the fixing member, a first temperature detection unit for detecting a temperature of the fixing member, a second temperature detection unit for detecting a temperature of the pressure member, and a control unit that controls a rotation speed of the fixing member. The control unit controls the rotation speed of the fixing member based on a temperature difference between the temperature detected by the first temperature detection unit and the temperature detected by the second temperature detection unit.
