    Abstract: A heating device includes a heating roller having a resistance heat-generating layer that generates heat by passage of a current through the resistance heat-generating layer, a support member that supports a treatment portion in which a heating treatment is performed, a belt that is stretched between at least the heating roller and the support member and that rotates, and a pressure rotating body that rotates in such a manner as to press a sheet-shaped heating target that is an object to be subjected to a heating treatment against the treatment portion including an outer peripheral surface portion of the belt that is supported by the support member and in such a manner as to cause the heating target to pass through the treatment portion. The heating roller is not equipped with a power receiving component configured to receive a rotational power that is transmitted.

    Abstract: A fixing device includes an endless belt, a fixing member that presses the belt against a recording medium holding an unfixed image to fix the unfixed image onto the recording medium, a restorer that is pressed against a surface of the belt after the image is fixed to restore the surface of the belt to a state before a fixing operation, and a changer that changes a pressing load of the restorer in accordance with a difference in a state of the surface of the belt between before the fixing operation and after the fixing operation.
