Provided is an image formation device which can be controlled not to exceed the maximum current of the commercial power supply, assure a desired fixing property, and minimize lowering of the image formation capability even when the current consumed by the image formation device increases during continuous image formation.The image formation device includes a current detection circuit which detects an input current from the commercial power supply to the device. If the current detected by the current detection circuit exceeds a predetermined value, the maximum current which can be applied to afixing unit is limited. If the temperature of the fixing unit in the state that the maximum current applied to the fixing unit is limited is lowered than a predetermined temperature which is lower than a control target value, the feed interval of a recording member fed to the fixing unit is increased.
