PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a belt fixing device uniformly pressing a toner image by a fixing belt through a simple structure without causing image defects. SOLUTION: The fixing device includes an endless fixing belt and a pressurizing member to be brought into press-contact with the fixing belt and adapted to hold and convey a recording material by a nip part formed between the fixing belt and the pressurizing member and fix a toner image on the recording material in contact with the fixing belt. The fixing belt and the pressurizing member contain conductive layers, respectively. A surface layer covering each conductive layer has an insulating layer. Voltages are applied to the conductive layer of the fixing belt and the conductive layer of the pressurizing member. A predetermined potential difference is provided between the fixing belt and the pressurizing member. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
