PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device capable of appropriately preventing overshoot of the temperature of a fixing member by varying rotating time or rotating speed in turn-off rotation of the fixing member after printing operation to be performed according to a condition in the printing operation in order to prevent the overshoot of the temperature of the fixing member after finishing the printing operation, and an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: The fixing device which thermally fixes an unfixed toner image on a recording medium conveyed to a fixing nip between the fixing member having a fixing heat source inside and a pressure member pressing the fixing member on the recording medium is equipped with a rotating time change control circuit 30 changing time to rotate the fixing member after turning off the fixing heat source of the fixing member after finishing the printing operation. The rotating time change control circuit 30 changes turn-off rotation time after the printing operation according to the condition in the printing operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
