Abstract:
An image forming apparatus, includes: a media sensor that detects a sheet type; a fixer that fixes the image on a sheet; a storage that stores a fixing temperature for each sheet type; and a hardware processor that controls power supplied to the fixer by pulse-width modulation (PWM) control and controls a temperature of the fixer to the fixing temperature corresponding to the sheet type detected by the media sensor.
