FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING SAME

摘要

No covering layer is provided onto that abutting surface of an external heating belt which has contact with a cleaning member. Accordingly, a belt substrate is exposed and has contact with the cleaning member. This suppresses the occurrence of offset in a fixing device including (i) the external heating belt for having contact with the surface of the fixing roller so as to heat a fixing roller, and (ii) the cleaning member having contact with the external heating belt.
