ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has a plurality of image forming units (R1–R4) for forming toner images, a fixing unit (63) for fixing the tone image to a medium, and a temperature control unit (122) for determining if each image forming unit is set and changing the set temperature of the fixing unit based on the determination. If a predetermined image forming unit is not used, a temperature can be set for the fixing unit so that the warming-up time can be shortened in the stand-by state. As a result, the image forming speed and through-put can be improved.
