ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic imaging apparatus for forming an image on a continuous recording sheet, transfers a toner image to the continuous recording sheet using a transfer unit. A tractor feeds the recording sheet from the transfer unit to a fixing unit where heat and pressure are applied to the recording sheet to fuse the toner image. A controller controls the fixing unit so that heat and pressure are applied to the continuous recording sheet after the tractor starts feeding the continuous recording sheet, and controls the fixing unit to inhibit the application of heat and pressure to the continuous recording sheet before the tractor stops feeding the recording sheet.
