ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device for forming an unfixed image on a recording material transported thereto, the image forming device being capable of continuously effecting image formation on recording materials differing in the width thereof in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction thereof, a fixing device having a heat member and for fixing the unfixed image by the use of heat and pressure, and a recording material changeover device capable, when images are to be continuously formed on recording materials smaller in the width thereof in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction than a maximum width with which the recording materials can be passed, of changing over the recording materials to recording materials greater in the width thereof in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction than the recording materials on which images are being formed in the course of continuous image formation.
