PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To downsize an image forming device, and also to reduce the cost of the device, in the image forming device which has a structure that after toner has been flown and stuck to a sheet to form an toner image while the sheet is being carried with a carrying belt, the image is fixed on the sheet. SOLUTION: The carrying belt is extended between a first roller 21 and a second roller 22, and runs in a carrying direction Y while holding the sheet S. A third roller 24 is disposed in opposition to the second roller 22. In this arrangement, the second roller is constituted as a heating roller, and the third roller as a pressurizing roller to press the second roller (heating roller). Consequently, the second roller is one constituent element of the sheet carrying unit 2 carrying the sheet S, and at the same time, the roller also functions as the heating roller of the fixing unit in cooperation with the third roller 24.
