PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device whose warm-up time is made almost zero and which provides excellent peeling performance even to thin paper to which much toner is transferred because of a color image. SOLUTION: The fixing device is provided with a thin heating belt having a conductive layer, a magnetic field generating means for performing the induction heating of the conductive layer from the outside of the thin heating belt, and a ferromagnetic body arranged on the opposite side of the heating belt to the magnetic field generating means through a gap between the ferromagnetic body and the heating belt. Then, an unfixed toner image on a recording medium is fixed at a nip part between the heating belt and a pressure member provided to face to the heating belt. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
