FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A fixing device includes a heating member to heat a sheet on which a toner image is supported; a pressing member to contact with the heating member so as to form a nip portion; a temperature detecting sensor to detect a temperature of the heating member without contacting with a surface of the heating member; and an air separating section to separate the sheet from the heating member by blowing air from a outlet to the sheet conveyed out from the nip portion, wherein the heating member is arranged to interrupt a straight line which connects the outlet and the temperature detecting sensor.
