An image forming apparatus is provided with an image heating apparatus for holding
and conveying a recording material bearing an image in a nip between a heating
member and a pressurizing member to heat the image on the recording material. The
image forming apparatus has a bias applying portion for applying a bias to at least
one of the heating member and the pressurizing member and a bias setting portion
for setting an amount of the applied bias. In the case that a recording material(s)
having a first width is fed and thereafter a recording material is to be fed, the
bias setting portion sets the amount of the applied bias based on the number of
the recording material(s) having the first width that have been fed and the time
from the feeding of the recording material(s) having the first width to the feeding
of the recording material having the second width.
