FIXING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, FIXING DEVICE CONTROL METHOD, AND FIXING DEVICE CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

A fixation apparatus includes a rotatable fixation belt, a pressurization roller which is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the fixation belt and rotates the fixation belt, a pressing member which is provided to face the pressurization roller with the fixation belt being interposed and presses the fixation belt against the pressurization roller, a heating roller which provides heat to paper which passes through a portion of contact between the fixation belt and the pressurization roller by providing heat to the fixation belt, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting an amount of attachment of a lubricant to an inner circumferential surface of the fixation belt. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the amount of attachment of the lubricant such that an amount of attachment of the lubricant while the fixation belt remains stopped is smaller than an amount of attachment of the lubricant during rotation of the fixation belt.
