See full text

An image forming apparatus which has an efficient localization system includes a heater, a first memory, a destination country setting mechanism, and a heater control selection mechanism. The first memory stores a first lookup table which contains information relating to a plurality of countries including information indicating a suitable heater control corresponding to a voltage of a commercial power source used in each of said plurality of countries. The destination country setting mechanism establishes a destination country. The heater control selection mechanism refers to the first lookup table stored in the first memory using the destination country established by the destination country setting mechanism to read a suitable heater control for the destination country, and controls a power supply to the heater based on the suitable heater control.
