    Abstract: A fixing unit includes a changing portion configured to change a state of a first rotary member and a second rotary member between a first pressurization state and a second pressurization state. A control portion is configured to control the driving source and the changing unit and capable of performing first control that causes the driving source to rotate the first rotary member and then stop the first rotary member, while continuing the first pressurization state from a last image forming operation, and second control that causes the changing portion to change the state of the first rotary member and the second rotary member from the first pressurization state to the second pressurization state.
