Abstract
An image forming apparatus that forms a toner image on a recording material includes: a temperature detection portion that detects the temperature of a heating member; a controller that controls the power to be supplied to the heating member so that the temperature detected by the temperature detection portion becomes the target temperature; and an acquisition portion that acquires information on a ratio of a region, where the toner image is formed, in a predetermined region located in an end portion of the recording material in a width direction thereof, and this controller changes the target temperature in accordance with the ratio.
