<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device in which an elastically deformable surface layer is formed around a heating member, the fixing device being configured to prevent a contact member disposed in contact with the surface layer from becoming tightly pressed against the elastically deformable surface layer. <P>SOLUTION: The fixing device in which the elastically deformable surface layer is formed around the heating member, has a surface roughness of the paper non-passage area of the surface layer made greater than that of the paper passage area thereof. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
