Abstract
In an image forming apparatus for controlling temperature of a fixing section based on a color material amount obtained from image data, it is determined whether the image data is a specific image, and the temperature of the fixing section is controlled so that the temperature of the fixing section becomes a predetermined temperature without using the color material amount obtained from the image data in a case where it is determined that the image data is a specific image as a determination result.
Claims10
An image forming apparatus for controlling temperature of a fixing section that fixes a color material on a printing medium, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether image data is a specific image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the temperature of the fixing section so that the temperature of the fixing section becomes a predetermined temperature in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is a specific image and control the temperature of the fixing section by using a fixing temperature corresponding to a color material amount obtained from the image data in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is not a specific image.
An image forming apparatus for controlling temperature of a fixing section that fixes a color material on a printing medium, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether image data is a specific image;
- a notification unit configured to notify a predetermined color material amount in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is a specific image, and notify a color material amount obtained from the image data in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is not a specific image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the temperature of the fixing section based on the color material amount notified by the notification unit.
An image forming apparatus for controlling temperature of a fixing section based on a control material amount obtained from image data, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether the image data is a specific image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the temperature of the fixing section targeting a predetermined temperature without using the color material amount obtained from the image data in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is a specific image.
An image forming apparatus for controlling temperature of a fixing section based on a color material amount obtained from image data, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain the color material amount from the image data;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the temperature of the fixing section targeting a fixing temperature corresponding to a processing content in a case where the image data from which the obtaining unit obtains the color material amount is processed.
An image forming method for controlling temperature of a fixing section that fixes a color material on a printing medium, the image forming method comprising:
- determining whether image data is a specific image;
- and
- controlling the temperature of the fixing section so that the temperature of the fixing section becomes a predetermined temperature in a case where it is determined that the image data is a specific image as a determining result in the determining, and controlling the temperature of the fixing section using a fixing temperature corresponding to a color material amount obtained from the image data in a case where it is determined that the image data is not a specific image as a determination result in the determining.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute as:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether image data is a specific image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control temperature of a fixing section so that the temperature of the fixing section to be a predetermined temperature in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is a specific image, and control the temperature of the fixing section by using a fixing temperature corresponding to a color material amount obtained from the image data in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data is not a specific image.
