    摘要: An image forming apparatus has a pad type fixing device in which a lubricant is interposed between a fixing belt for heating a sheet and a pad for holding the fixing belt, and includes: a controller that controls a heater of the fixing belt to maintain a fixing temperature to be set in accordance with printing modes, at a set temperature; an acquisitor that acquires torque of a motor for rotating the fixing belt as acquired torque for each of the set temperatures; a transition predictor that predicts transition of the torque of the motor for each of the set temperatures based on the acquired torque; and a point predictor that predicts a point at which at least two transition curves based on the predicted transition intersect each other as a torque rise point at which the torque of the motor starts rising due to a decrease in the lubricant.

    摘要: An image forming device includes: a transfer unit transferring a toner image to a sheet; a resistance measurement member disposed on the upstream side in a sheet carriage direction of the transfer unit and for measuring resistance of the sheet; a charge elimination member disposed between the transfer unit and the resistance measurement member in the sheet carriage direction; a first voltage applying unit applying voltage for resistance measurement to the resistance measurement member; and a second voltage applying unit applying voltage of reverse bias of the voltage for resistance measurement to the charge elimination member. The width of a charge elimination region by the charge elimination member is wider than that of a charged region by the resistance measurement member in a direction perpendicular to the sheet carriage direction. The absolute value of the voltage for charge elimination is smaller than that of the voltage for resistance measurement.
