Abstract

A fixation system includes a rotating body; a fixation belt that is formed in endless and forms a fixation nip where an image on a medium is fixed by making contact with the rotating body; a heater that makes contact with an inner circumference of a portion of the fixation belt where the fixation nip is formed with a lubricant interposed therebetween and heats the fixation belt; and a processor configured to: execute a leveling mode in which the fixation belt is rotated while causing the heater to heat the fixation belt at a temperature higher than a fixation temperature used during fixation of the image on the medium.
