PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten warm-up time and to prevent an offset phenomenon. SOLUTION: The fixing device is equipped with: a heating roller 1; a pressure roller 2 pressed on the heating roller; a belt stretching and laying member 4 arranged on an upstream side in a paper conveying direction with respect to the pressure roller and disposed on the pressure roller through a tension spring; and the belt 3 wound round the outer peripheries of the pressure roller and the belt stretching and laying member and moving while forming a fixing nip between the heating roll and the belt 3 itself. A nip forming area 4a is formed on the belt stretching and laying member, and a belt non-contact part 4b is formed on a belt sliding surface other than the nip forming area.
