Abstract
An image formation apparatus includes: an image formation device which forms a developer image on a medium; a storage device which stores medium information concerning the medium; a fixation device which fixes the developer image to the medium by heating the developer image while causing the medium to travel; a first detector which detects a stop or a speed reduction of travel of the medium in the fixation device; a second detector which detects a temperature of the fixation device; a cooler; and a controller which, when the first detector detects the stop or the speed reduction of the travel of the medium, stops an operation of the fixation device, and operates the cooler based on the medium information and the temperature of the fixation device, thereby cooling the medium stuck in the fixation device.
