Abstract
A heater has a main heater block arranged in a reference area corresponding to a sheet having a reference size and a sub-heater block arranged in an outer-side area. An outer-side sheet sensor detects the sheet at a location within the outer-side area between a transfer device and a fixing device. The control device, depending on target size information representing a size of a target sheet, controls a power supply state between a first power supply state and a second power supply state. The control device, in a case in which the target size information represents a size exceeding the reference size, and depending on whether or not the outer-side sheet sensor detects the target sheet, further controls a conveying interval between the target sheet and a next sheet following the target sheet to one of a first interval and a second interval longer than the first interval.
