Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a heating element group including a plurality of heating elements arranged in a main scanning direction; a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor that detect a temperature of a heating element of the plurality of heating elements; and a correction unit that corrects an output value from the first temperature sensor based on the output value from the first temperature sensor and a distance between the first temperature sensor and the heating element and corrects an output value from the second temperature sensor based on the output value from the second temperature sensor and a distance between the second temperature sensor and the heating element.
