PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a fixing device that fixes toner images formed on both sides of a recording medium from causing deterioration of the image quality of the toner images after fixing, by steadily conveying the recording medium, thereby avoiding disturbance of the toner images held on the recording medium. SOLUTION: The recording medium P with the toner images T held on both its sides is passed through a nip N between a fixing belt 27 rotated while wrapped round first and second support rollers 25 and 26 and a fixing roller 28 disposed in pressure contact with the fixing belt 27. At the time, heat and pressure are applied to the toner images T, thereby fixing the toner images T to the recording medium, and also the recording medium P before entering the nip N is conveyed while attracted to the surface of the fixing belt 27 charged electrostatically.
