<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent paper jams and exhibit appropriate separation performance, regardless of conditions such as thickness of a recording medium. <P>SOLUTION: The fixing device includes: a heating roller 110 that allows a recording medium with an unfixed toner image formed thereon to pass under heating and pressure to form a fixing nip part N to fix the unfixed toner image on the recording medium; a pressure roller 120; and a separation pawl 130 inserted between the recording medium having passed the fixing nip part N and the heating roller 110 to separate the recording medium from the heating roller 110. The separation pawl 130 is driven to change the distance between a tip part 130a thereof and the heating roller 110 using a cam 140. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
