<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the warming-up time and power consumption.SOLUTION: A fixing device 20 includes a fixing roller 21, a heating belt 23, a heat transfer member 11, a planar heater 12, and a spring 241. The heating belt 23 comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the fixing roller 21. The heat transfer member 11 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the heating belt 23. The planar heater 12 heats the heat transfer member 11. The spring 241 energizes the heat transfer member 11 toward the inner peripheral surface of the heating belt 23. The spring 241 is arranged in a region not facing the peripheral surface of the fixing roller 21 in the axial direction of the fixing roller 21.</p> |
