An image apparatus which minimizes temperature differences between end
portions and a central portion of a print medium includes heater members
having different heat distributions, a temperature detecting unit for
detecting a temperature of an area where a print medium passes through, a
heat controlling unit for controlling a fusing unit temperature by an
individual heat controlling of the heater members based on the
temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit, and a rate
determination unit for determining a divisional rate of heat to be
charged per unit time to the fusing unit by means of the heater members.
The rate determination unit determines the divisional rate based on the
fusing condition input and the heat controlling unit which controls the
heater members individually on the basis of the divisional rate
determined by the rate determination unit.
