A fixing device has a frame (45), a heating roller (41), a press roller (42), a peeler (43), a guide member (44), a first bias unit (44s), and a wheel. The heating roller is provided to the frame and has a roller rotation axis and a cylindrical surface. The press roller is pressed against the cylindrical surface. The peeler is provided to the frame having a peeling surface (43d) having a leading edge facing the cylindrical surface. The peeling surface faces the feeding path. The guide member is positioned facing the peeling surface to guide the recording medium and is movable between a near position and a far position. The first bias unit biases the guide member to the near position. The wheel is supported to the frame and has a wheel rotation axis parallel to the roller rotation axis. The wheel is positioned in a manner that a part of the circumferential edge thereof protrudes from the peeling surface to the guiding member in a virtual plane perpendicular to the wheel rotation axis. |
