Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device to fix a toner image onto a recording material. The fixing device includes a heating unit, a pressure rotating member, a temperature detection unit, a storage unit, a reading unit, a sheet feeding unit, a conveyance unit, and a control unit.
