FIXING DEVICE

摘要

A fixing device for fixing a developing agent image on a recording medium includes a heat roller (41) and a compression roller (42) for pressing the recording medium (P) against the circumferential surface of the heat roller. A discharge guide (48) for guiding the recording paper passing between the rollers, away from the heat roller is arranged near the heat roller. The discharge guide has an end portion (48c) located adjacent to the heat roller, and is positioned by a positioning mechanism (60, 61a, 61b, 61c) so that a predetermined distance (A) is defined between the end portion (48c) of the discharge guide and the heat roller.
