A fuser roller and a fusing unit including the fuser roller are to be used in an image-forming apparatus. The fuser roller includes a tubular fusing portion, an inner tube, and a heating portion. The inner tube is inserted into the fusing portion. The heating portion is installed to enclose an outer surface of the inner tube and press against an inner surface of the fusing portion, and to radiate heat. The fusing portion is surface treated to have a roughness factor of Ra 3-5μm.

A fusing roller for an image forming apparatus is provided. The fusing roller includes a tubular fusing unit having a treated surface, an inner pipe inserted into the fusing unit, a heating unit surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe and generating heat, and an insulating unit. The insulating unit includes a first insulating unit, which includes one or more insulating layers and is disposed between the heating unit and the inner pipe, and a second insulating unit, which includes one or more insulating layers and is disposed between the heating unit and the fusing unit.

A fixing device of an image forming apparatus includes a heating roller, a pressing roller forming a first fixing nip by contacting the heating roller, and a pressing member disposed at a lower stream of the heating roller and forming a second fixing nip by contacting the heating roller. A fixing belt runs along a caterpillar track, and winds around the pressing roller and the pressing member. The pressing member includes a protrusion part for pressing the paper passed through the second fixing nip by greater pressure at a nip outlet than at the second fixing nip. Accordingly, as the width of the fixing nip is increased, the staying time at the fixing nip increases, thereby improving printing quality according to performance of high-speed printing. Additionally, wrap jams of the paper may be substantially prevented from occurring at the nip outlet.

A fusing unit is formed along a printing path in an image forming apparatus and fuses an image transferred to a printing medium. The fusing unit includes: a heat source; a nip plate which is heated by the heat source, and includes a nip part to heat and press the printing medium; and a reflection member to reflect heat generated by the heat source toward the nip part. A belt member is rotatably provided about the heat source, the nip plate and the reflection member, and guides the movement of the printing medium. A driving roller faces the nip part and rotatably drives the belt member. The nip plate and the driving roller form a fusing nip, which quickly heats and provides for quick fusing of a toner image to a printing medium.

A fixing device includes a pressure member, a heat roller, a pressure roller disposed opposite to the heat roller and pressing the heat roller, and a fixing belt driven between the heat roller and the pressure roller. The pressure member is positioned upstream of the pressure roller in a direction that a printing medium is conveyed, presses the fixing belt along an outer circumferential surface of the heat roller, and fixes a toner image transferred to the printing medium.

A fixing device for fixing a toner image onto a recording medium, and an image forming apparatus having the same are provided. The fixing device includes a fixing roller heated by a heating source, and a pressing unit disposed opposite the fixing roller to bias a recording medium towards the fixing roller so that the recording medium contacts the fixing roller. The pressing unit has a movable support member, a pressing member mounted at the support member to face the fixing roller, a pressing belt rotatably disposed around the support member and the pressing member and biased by the pressing member to form a nip with the fixing roller, a driving roller for rotating the pressing belt, and a resilience applying member for biasing at least one of the support member and the driving roller toward the fixing roller. Accordingly, the pressing unit basically expands the width of the fixing nip to improve the image fixing capability.
