Abstract:
A fusing device includes a pressure member, a heating member, and an external heating member. The heating member has an outer surface in contact with an outer surface of the pressure member. The heating member heats a sheet that is being passed in a first direction through a contact area between the pressure member and the heating member. The external heating member heats a predetermined area of the surface of the heating member from outside. Length of the predetermined area along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction is set shorter than entire length of the heating member along the second direction.
Abstract:
A sheet transport apparatus of the present invention is arranged so that a first eject tray is located at a position to which sheets are ejectable in such a manner that front and back surfaces of the sheets are not reversed after the sheets are subjected to predetermined processing. Further, the sheet transport apparatus of the present invention is provided with a first eject tray operation section for aligning leading edges of the sheets ejected to the first eject tray by changing a positional relation in a vertical direction between an upstream side and a downstream side of the first eject tray in a sheet transporting direction.
