In an image forming apparatus having single-color mode and full-color
mode, to maintain an excellent fusing property of the single-color image
and the full-image even on the condition that the temperature of the
fixing member is easy to fall, when the temperature of the fusing roller
lowers during the image forming job, the control for decreasing the
subsequent image productivity or the control for discontinuing the job is
performed within general performance power supply with ease. The
reference temperature for determining such lowering of the image
productivity or discontinuation of the job is set to be lower in the
single-color mode than the full-color mode. As a result, both of the
fusing property and the high image productivity can be realized.
