ABSTRACT:
A fixing apparatus of an image forming apparatus with high productivity for heavy paper is provided that prevents an abnormal temperature rise of a heated material after a continuous printing operation of heavy paper ends. If the value of a temperature sensor that is provided in a non-passing region of the heated material is equal to or greater than a predetermined value at the end of the continuous printing, the cooling device of a pressure member is operated before the apparatus is put into a standby state, so that the heating member is rotated while the pressure member presses the heating member.
