Image forming device with a control means to correct the fixing control temperature

An image forming device comprising:

• a fixing device to perform fixing by heating a transfer member that carries a toner image that is not yet fixed;
• a temperature detection device to detect a temperature within the image forming device in which the fixing device is provided;
• and
• a control device to correct a control temperature of the fixing device for a first time period using only the detection result of the temperature detection device, wherein the temperature detection device is useable to detect a temperature of a cover of the fixing device.
