Abstract
An image forming device that uses only one temperature sensor to detect temperatures of the recording sheet and a rotation member for fixing, and can perform the temperature adjustment control carefully in detail during the image forming operation. The CPUperforms the temperature adjustment controlby executing the temperature adjustment program(step S), then executes the paper passing judgment programto judge whether or not paper is passing (step S). As far as it judges that no paper is passing (NO in step S), the CPUcontinues to perform the temperature adjustment controlby executing the temperature adjustment program. When it judges that paper is passing (YES in step S), the CPUperforms the temperature adjustment control (step S).
