<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make temperature distribution uniform in the shaft direction of a fixing roller. <P>SOLUTION: Roller temperature T1 is detected by a roller temperature sensor 76, and driving of cooling fans 78 and 79 is started, when the roller temperature T1 satisfies the relation T1>T2×α1(where the set temperature of the fixing roller 71 is T2, and first factor of safety is α1(0<α1<1)). By the driving of the cooling fans 78 and 79, air is made to flow in directions reverse to each other, in a space part divided by a partition 75 inside the fixing roller 71, and an induction heating coil 73 is cooled. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
