<p>A fixing device (19) including a fixing member (20) to melt a toner image to fix the toner image to a recording medium, a pressing member (30) pressed against the fixing member (20) to form a nip to where the recording medium is conveyed, multiple temperature detectors (40A; 40B; 40C; 40D) to detect a temperature at multiple positions on a surface of the pressing member (30) in a width direction thereof, a heating member (20) including a heating layer (21) to heat the fixing member (20); an exciting coil (26) to generate magnetic fluxes to inductively heat the heating layer, and one or more pairs of degaussing coils (27A; 27B; 27C) to generate magnetic fluxes to degauss the magnetic fluxes generated by the exciting coil (26). An amount of power supplied to the one or more pairs of degaussing coils (27A; 27B; 27C) is controlled based on a result detected by each of the multiple temperature detectors (40A; 40B; 40C; 40D).</p> |
