    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a heater to generate heat with AC power for fixing a toner image to a medium and a power supply device to supply the AC power to the heater according to a pattern corresponding to one of at least two different combinations of a control cycle and a resolution in duty ratio. The control cycle corresponds to an integer multiple of a nominal AC power cycle. The duty ratio reflects a number of nominal AC power cycles in the control cycle during which the heater is in an on state.
