ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus including: a fixing device for fixing a toner image formed on a recording medium onto the recording medium, the fixing device comprising a first fixing member equipped with a heating device and a second fixing member for making pressure contact of the recording medium to the first fixing member; a moving section for relatively moving the first fixing member and the second fixing member; a temperature detector for detecting a temperature of the first fixing member; and a controller for controlling the moving section so as to reduce a relative distance between the first fixing member and the second fixing member, when the temperature of the first fixing member detected by the temperature detector is higher than a predetermined temperature.
