Fixing device and image forming apparatus

Abstract

A fixing device includes a first heating unit, a second heating unit having maximum power consumption smaller than maximum power consumption of the first heating unit, and a control section configured to control power supplied to the first heating unit and the second heating unit, in which the control section stops supply of power to the second heating unit and starts supply of power to the first heating unit in a case where input power exceeds first power and is equal to or smaller than second power larger than the first power, and reduces power input to the first heating unit by starting the supply of the power to the second heating unit while the power is supplied to the first heating unit, in a case where the input power exceeds the second power.
