Abstract:
A fixing device has a fixing member, a guide member, and a blowing member. The guide member is pivotable to be located selectively either in a first position where it guides a recording medium to a fixing nip and a second position where it shuts a recording medium transport passage. When the fixing member is driven to rotate, the guide member is located in the first position to guide air blown from the blowing member to opposite ends of the fixing member. When the fixing member is not driven to rotate, the guide member is located in the second position to let air blown from the blowing member pass between the guide member and the fixing member.
