No covering layer is provided onto that abutting surface of an external heating belt which has contact with a cleaning member. Accordingly, a belt substrate is exposed and has contact with the cleaning member. This suppresses the occurrence of offset in a fixing device including (i) the external heating belt for having contact with the surface of the fixing roller so as to heat a fixing roller, and (ii) the cleaning member having contact with the external heating belt.

A fixing device includes a feeding roller for feeding a belt-shaped cleaning member which has been rolled up, and a winding roller for taking up the cleaning member which has been fed from the feeding roller and cleaned the surface of the fixing roller. Each of the feeding roller and the winding roller rotates by a time control of a control portion so that a sum of a feed amount of the cleaning member which is fed by the feeding roller at one feeding occasion, and a take-up amount of the cleaning member which is taken up by the winding roller at one take-up occasion, is equal to or more than a double of a length Ln of a nip section.

A fixing device includes a feeding roller for feeding a belt-shaped cleaning member which has been rolled up, and a winding roller for taking up the cleaning member which has been fed from the feeding roller and cleaned a surface of the fixing roller, the winding roller being provided so as to pressure-contact the feeding roller. The winding roller is rotated by a time control due to a control portion so that a sum of a feed amount of the cleaning member which is fed by the feeding roller at one feeding occasion, and a take-up amount of the cleaning member which is taken up by the winding roller at one take-up occasion, is equal to or more than a double of a length Ln of a nip section.

Disclosed is a toner image fixing device that is capable of changeably setting sheet separating portions in contact with or apart from the cylindrical surfaces of corresponding fixing rollers in accord with the resiliency of recording material to surely prevent a recording material from wrapping round the fixing rollers and being jammed between the rollers and capable of minimizing the frequency of contacting the separating portions with the fixing roller surfaces to obtain an increased quality of a toner image fixed on the recording material and elongate the service life of the fixing rollers.

A fixing device is provided with a fixing roller, a peeling claw that peels a recording paper from the fixing roller, a peeling claw holder that rotatably supports the peeling claw, and a support member that movably supports the peeling claw holder to enable the peeling claw to retract by moving apart from the fixing roller, wherein not less than two directions are set as retracting directions of the peeling claw holder to be moved when the peeling claw is caused to retract by moving apart from the fixing roller.

In one embodiment, an operation state, standby state or installation environment of an image forming apparatus is detected or determined, and details of heating control of the surface temperature of rollers of a fixing apparatus are changed in accordance with the detected or determined state or environment. For example, when the operation state is a state in which printing on a last sheet of recording paper in a print job is complete, or when the operation state is a state in which printing on recording paper is interrupted, and, in addition, when the installation environment is a low-temperature and low-humidity environment and the image forming apparatus enters the standby state, heating of the rollers is respectively controlled to prevent unexpected and inappropriate changes in the surface temperature of the rollers.

In a fixing device including (i) an external heat belt which abuts against a surface of a fixing roller so as to heat the fixing roller and (ii) a cleaning member which abuts against the external heat belt, a fixing temperature, which is a surface temperature of the fixing roller during a fixing process, is set per group into which recording media to be subjected to the fixing process are divided according to their widths in a direction of a rotary axis of the fixing roller, in such a way that the fixing temperature is set to a lower temperature for a group of narrower widths. This makes it possible to prevent a reduction in releasability of the fixing roller caused by a material, which is scraped off from the external heat belt by the cleaning member and then adhered to the fixing roller, thereby preventing the high-temperature offset.

A fuser apparatus including: a fuser member having an endless contact surface to be brought into contact with each of successively transported recording media and a non-contact surface and being arranged to apply heat to the recording medium from the contact surface to fix a toner on the recording medium; a heating member energized to supply heat to the contact surface; a contact surface temperature detecting member for detecting a temperature of the contact surface; a non-contact surface temperature detecting member for detecting a temperature of the non-contact surface; and an energization controlling member for controling energization power of the heating member; wherein the energization controlling member controls the heating member energization power so that the heating member energization power is reduced as a difference between the non-contact surface temperature and the contact surface temperature decreases.

In one embodiment, a fixing apparatus is configured of a pressing portion for causing the pressure roller to enter a pressure applied state by applying bias, a switching portion for causing the pressing portion in the pressure applied state to enter a pressure released state by causing a cam to rotate forward, a pressure state detection portion for detecting the pressure released state, and a control portion for, when shifting from the pressure applied state to the pressure released state, turning forward the cam of the switching portion in the pressure applied state and stopping the cam after the pressure state detection portion detects the pressure released state. If the cam is turned forward with respect to the switching portion for a certain time period, but the pressure state detection portion does not detect the pressure released state, the control portion performs forward rotational direction retry control.
