<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a decrease in gloss provided on a surface of a recording medium, by cooling a high temperature portion of a member contacting the glossed surface. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The fixing device applies gloss to an image formed on the surface of a recording sheet by sandwiching a belt 101 and the recording sheet between a heat roll 103 and a pressing roll 105, and presses the recording sheet to the belt 101. A blower 106 cools a part included in an angle range of 90 degrees toward a downstream side in the rotating direction from the contact part of the pressing roll 105 with the recording sheet. This cools a high temperature portion of the pressing roll 105, improves the cooling efficiency of the pressing roll 105, and suppresses the deterioration in the sense of gloss of an image on a surface contacting the pressing roll 105.
