Fixing apparatus using a fixing roller having a low resistance layer

摘要

A fixing apparatus includes a movable member: a rotatable member for forming a nip with the movable member; wherein a recording material carrying an unfixed toner image is fed by the nip therethrough, and the unfixed toner image is fixed while it is being fed thereby; wherein the rotatable member comprises an electroconductive core, a low resistance layer electrically connected with the core and provided outside the core, and an insulation layer outside the low resistance layer; means for applying a bias voltage to the core of the rotatable member; an insulation member for covering an end surface of the low resistance layer of the rotatable member.
