ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an image forming apparatus for forming, on a image carrier, an electrostatic latent image corresponding to a document image, and then providing an image based on the electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier, has first output device having a first output section for outputting a first signal corresponding to the temperature of the image carrier, a first unit having the first output device, second output device having a second output section for outputting a second signal with a level differing from the first signal, a second unit having the second output device, input device having a temperature signal input section which is to be connected to one of the first and second output sections for inputting a signal output from the one of the first and second output sections, and a detection device for detecting the one of the first and second output sections which is connected to the temperature signal input section, and also detecting the temperature of the image carrier.
