In a construction wherein at the start of fixing, a pressure belt is brought into contact with a fixing roller at uniform timing, it has sometimes been the case that the temperature of the pressure belt at a point of time whereat the fixing is started does not become a desired temperature but faulty fixing occurs. The timing for bringing the pressure belt into contact with the fixing roller at the start of fixing is changed in accordance with the detected temperature of the pressure belt. By such a construction, faulty fixing can be prevented from occurring.

In an image forming apparatus having a discrimination mechanism that identifies an input document image as a color image or a monochrome image and an area recognition mechanism that recognizes a plurality of different areas contained in the document image, the apparatus applies the optimum color image forming mode even if the document is identified as a color image and forms an image. The user is permitted to select either a first color image forming mode that uses recording agents of m colors (where m is a natural number equal to or greater than 4) or a second color image forming mode that uses recording agents of n colors (where n is a natural number equal to or greater than m+1) as a color image forming mode applied to at least one of the areas recognized by the area recognition mechanism. If the input document image is identified as a color image, the apparatus applies the selected color image forming mode to at least one of the areas recognized by the area recognition mechanism and forms an image.

A sheet processing apparatus which makes it possible to carry out optimal bundling, such as bookbinding, according to sheet thickness, thereby enhancing the operability of the apparatus. A sensor LED control section 114 detects the thickness of a bundle of sheets to be processed. A post-processing control section 115 calculates a thickness of each sheet based on the thickness of the bundle of sheets detected by the sensor LED control section 114. The post-processing control section 115 changes the upper limit of the number of sheets that can be processed as a bundle based on the calculated thickness of each sheet.

An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes an image formation portion for forming a toner image on a sheet, and a fixation device for fixing the toner image formed by the image formation portion on the sheet. When a sheet jam occurs, it is controlled whether the fixation device should be driven such that the sheet is discharged from the fixation device based on a sheet type.
