FIG2 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of a hardware configuration of the image forming apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. The image forming apparatus 100 includes a processor 11, a memory 12 and an auxiliary storage device 13 connected by a bus line 90. The processor 11 executes programs stored in the memory 12 and the auxiliary storage device 13 to function as a control section 1 that controls each component of the image forming apparatus 100. Specifically, the control section 1 controls the control panel 120, the display 110, the printer 130 and a fixing section 150. Furthermore, all or part of each function of the image forming apparatus 100 may be realized using hardware such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), and a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The program may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium is, for example, a storage device such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, a hard disk built in a computer system. The program may be transmitted via an electric communication line.

['1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet; a fixing section configured to heat the sheet having the image formed thereon to a fixing temperature; and a control section configured to adjust parameters of the image forming section to reduce deterioration in image quality of the image formed by the image forming section and to carry out the adjustment while a temperature of the fixing section is being changed by greater than a predetermined amount and to not carry out the adjustment while the temperature of the fixing section is changed by less than a predetermined amount.']
