ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a transferring section for transferring an image to an image receiving medium, a primary fixing section for fixing the image by pressurizing the medium and a secondary fixing section for fixing the image. Conveying lengths of the medium from a transfer position to image fixing positions in the secondary fixing section and the primary fixing section are shorter than a maximum length and a minimum length of the medium in the conveying direction, respectively. In case of the medium of the maximum length, the primary fixing section is brought into a non-fixing state and the transfer is completed when the forward end of the medium reaches the secondary fixing section. In case of the medium of the minimum length, the primary fixing section is brought into a fixing state and the transfer is completed when the forward end of the medium reaches the primary fixing section.
