Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a fixing unit that fixes an image of a toner using any one of a first toner and a second toner on a recording medium, and a control unit that sets a fixing temperature and a standby temperature of the fixing unit. The control unit sets the fixing temperature when the image of the first toner is fixed to a first temperature, sets the fixing temperature when the image of the second toner is fixed to a second temperature lower than the first temperature, and sets the standby temperature when the fixing unit is in a standby state to a temperature closer than the second temperature than the first temperature.
