Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming portion; a pair of rotatable members, at least one of which is an endless belt; a contact-and-separation portion; a driving portion; a detecting portion configured to detect presence or absence of the sheet and another object on a sheet feeding path downstream of a fixing nip with respect to a sheet feeding direction; and an output portion configured to output a signal indicating breakage of the belt upon detection of the presence of the object on the sheet feeding path by the detecting portion when said rotatable members are spaced from each other and the belt rotates.

Abstract: A fixing unit includes an endless belt, a heating unit configured to heat the belt, a pressure rotary member configured to form a fixing nip portion that nips and conveys a recording material with the belt, a pad configured to press the belt toward the pressure rotary member, a sliding sheet provided on the pad and configured to slide against the belt, a plate-like member configured to fix the sliding sheet to the pad, the sliding sheet being fixed in a manner sandwiched between the plate-like member and the pad, and fixing tools configured to fix the plate-like member at a plurality of positions along a longitudinal direction of the plate-like member. A width of the sliding sheet is wider than a width of the fixing nip portion and narrower than a width of the plate-like member in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a fixing device including a first rotary member of which a surface layer containing a fluororesin is brought into contact with a sheet surface having an unfixed toner image formed by the image forming device, and a controller. In a case that image formation processing for continuously forming a toner image on a plurality of predetermined sheets is executed, the controller can control conveyance of a sheet so that a portion of the surface layer of the first rotary member which is brought into contact with a trailing edge of a preceding sheet is brought into contact with a margin area on a leading edge side on a next sheet.

Abstract: A contact member comes into contact with a back surface of a recording material between a nip portion and a transfer portion in a conveyance direction of the recording material. The contact member is capable of being located at a first position, a second position, and a third position. A detection unit detects a position of the contact member so that the detection unit can detect the first position, the second position, and the third position. The contact member reaches the third position by being biased by the recording material from the second position.
