PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device capable of preventing the high-temperature offset of toner and of properly separating papers. SOLUTION: The fixing device has a heating roller 8 and a pressure roller 10. The pressure roller 10 includes a core shaft 100, extending in the shaft direction and an elastic roll body 101 fitting externally on the core shaft 100 and brought into press-contact with the heating roller 8 so as to form a nip N between the heating roller 8 and the roll body 101. The core shaft 100 has a shape, where large-diameter shaft parts 100b and small-diameter shaft parts 100a are alternately arrayed in the shaft direction and is provided with undulations in the shaft direction. When paper passes through the nip N, it is made to be undulated in the width direction and is stiffened in the transport direction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
