  • Patent number: 6801729
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus has an image forming unit and a film-heat-type fuser over which a sheet with an unfixed toner image passes and on which are positioned a first temperature-measuring device centered on the fuser so that a sheet always passes over that device and a second temperature measuring device disposed away from the center so that large sheets will pass over the second temperature measuring device and small sheets will not pass over the device when being conveyed correctly. The device also has a temperature control mechanism, a sheet size detector and throughput control, so that the throughput control changes throughput when the sheet size detector determines that a small sheet is being conveyed and the difference between the temperatures of the first and second temperature measuring devices is less than a predetermined value as the sheet passes over the fuser.
