PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separate paper without damaging a heating roller and suppressing dew condensation generated in a periphery of a fixing nip.SOLUTION: A separation plate 41 is a plate-like member which is disposed in a direction where the long side is orthogonal to a paper conveying direction on the downstream side of the paper conveying direction from a fixing nip NP and the long side near a peripheral surface of a heating roller 21 and a paper passing region 21a of the heating roller 21 are arranged to be separated by a predetermined distance. An air blowing part 30 comprises a rotation axis 31, a roller 32 and a blade member 33. The rotation axis 31 is rotated by receiving a rotational driving force from the roller 32. The peripheral surface of the roller 32 is contacted with a non-paper passing area 21b of the heating roller 21 and the heating roller 21 rotates driven by the rotation of the heating roller 21. The blade member 33 blows air by integrally rotating with the rotation axis 31. That is, when the heating roller 21 rotates, the roller 32 rotates, and the rotation axis 31 rotates and the blade member 33 rotates. |
