Abstract:
A fixing device of an image forming apparatus includes: a fixing belt, a heat source that heats a portion of the fixing belt; and a pressure roller that forms a nip between the pressure roller and the fixing belt and that transports a sheet. In the heat source, a standby temperature (setting temperature in a suspension standby mode) in a standby state in which rotation of the fixing belt is suspended is set to be higher than a printing temperature in a printing state.
