Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an executing portion for operating in a borderless image forming mode in which a toner image is formed in an edge portion of a recording material and for operating in a normal image forming mode in which the toner image is not formed in the edge portion, an image forming portion, a fixing device, a heating portion, a nip forming portion, and a temperature detecting portion, and a controller. In the case of the borderless image forming mode, the controller controls the heating portion so that a temperature thereof becomes a first control temperature in a first period in which the recording material passes through the fixing nip. In the case of the normal image forming mode, the controller controls the heating portion so that the temperature thereof becomes a second control temperature higher than the first control temperature in the first period.
