In an image forming apparatus a controller starts a heater to heat up in response to a print command In a first case where temperature of the fixing device at a timing of reception of the print command is lower than a first threshold value, the controller starts rotating a first motor, and subsequently starts rotating a second motor before the conveying device conveys the sheet according to the received print command. The first threshold value is lower than the target temperature. In a second case where the temperature of the fixing device at the timing of reception of the print command is higher the first threshold value, the controller starts rotating the second motor, and subsequently starts rotating the first motor before the conveying device conveys the sheet according to the received print command.
