摘要： A device, and method implemented by the device, employs a fixing device to heat and apply pressure to an image forming substance held on an image holding member so as to affix the image forming substance on the image holding member. The device includes a web and a web driving mechanism that operate under the control of a controller. The controller controls a movement of the web to clean a nip portion of the fixing device during a suspending mode of operation. By moving the web against the fixing unit during the suspending mode of operation, the residual image forming substance is prevented from remaining on the fixing device for too long of a period of time, thereby lowering the risk of damaging the fixing unit, which may occur if the residual image forming substance is removed from the fixing device after being secured attached to the fixing device.
