Abstract
While a continuous conveying process is being executed, a first output process is executed at a timing prior to a prescribed timing, and a second output process is executed for a prescribed period from the prescribed timing. The prescribed timing is prior to a timing at which each recording sheet reaches a heating body. The first output process is for controlling an electric power supply to output electric power to a heat source configured to heat the heating body. The second output process is for controlling the electric power supply to output electric power to the heat source such that an output level of the electric power that is outputted from the electric power supply in the second output process has a tendency to become higher than an output level of the electric power that is outputted from the electric power supply in the first output process.
