Image forming apparatus that controls primary fixing temperature and secondary fixing temperature

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a fixing device that fixes a toner image onto a printing sheet to which the toner image corresponding to an image to be drawn by printing;
• and
• a controller including a processor, and configured to act, when the processor executes a control program, as:
• a print controller that receives a printing request;
• a drawing controller that identifies an image to be drawn, through image processing of a page image designated by the printing request with respect to each page, and identifies a use amount of toner required for the image to be drawn;
• and
• an engine controller that controls a fixing temperature of the fixing device, the engine controller being configured to:
• execute a primary fixing temperature control including controlling the fixing temperature according to color information designated by the printing request with respect to each page;
• and
• execute, after executing the primary fixing temperature control, a secondary fixing temperature control including controlling the fixing temperature according to the use amount of toner identified by the drawing controller,
• wherein the engine controller executes the primary fixing temperature control during a primary feeding of the printing sheet, and executes the secondary fixing temperature control during a secondary feeding of the printing sheet.
