<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing member that prevents the occurrence of fixing failure even in a condition of shorter warm-up period and first print time, smaller power consumption of the device, and high operation speed of the device, as well as an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: A fixing device is provided with: a press-contact member 22 that forms a nip part by pres-contacting a pressing rotor 31 via a belt member 21; a facing member 23 that holds the shape of the belt member 21 during the operation; and a heat source 26 provided facing an inner peripheral surface of the facing member 23 and radiates infrared rays. The facing member 23 has an infrared transmission unit that transmits the infrared ray radiated from the heat source 26 to the belt member 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
