Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first heater, a second heater, and processing circuitry. The first heater is used in an image forming process. The second heater is used in a processing process after the image forming process. The processing circuitry is to measure a temperature of the first heater, measure a temperature of the second heater, and control start of the image forming process based on a first measured temperature of the first heater and a second measured temperature of the second heater.
Claims16
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a first heater used in an image forming process;
- a second heater used in a processing process after the image forming process;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- measure a temperature of the first heater;
- measure a temperature of the second heater;
- and
- control start of the image forming process based on a first measured temperature of the first heater and a second measured temperature of the second heater.
An image forming method, comprising:
- first measuring a temperature of a first heater used in an image forming process;
- second measuring a temperature of a second heater used in a processing process after the image forming process;
- and
- controlling start of the image forming process based on a first measured temperature measured by the first measuring and a second measured temperature measured by the second measuring.
A non-transitory recording medium soring computer-readable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to execute a process, the process comprising:
- first measuring a temperature of a first heater used in an image forming process;
- second measuring a temperature of a second heater used in a processing process after the image forming process;
- and
- controlling start of the image forming process based on a first measured temperature measured by the first measuring and a second measured temperature measured by the second measuring.
