    Abstract: An image formation apparatus includes: a fixing belt wound on a plurality of support rollers including a first pressure applying roller; a second pressure applying roller applying a pressure to the first pressure applying roller and thus forming a nip portion N; a tension modifying mechanism adjusting a tension; a contact area adjustment mechanism adjusting a downstream contact area, which is a contact area of the fixing belt in contact with the first pressure applying roller that is located downstream of the nip portion N; a sheet information obtainer; and a controller controlling an operation of the tension modifying mechanism and an operation of the contact area adjustment mechanism. When sheet information indicates embossed paper, the controller adjusts the operation of the tension modifying mechanism and the operation of the contact area adjustment mechanism to reduce a tension exerted to the fixing belt and also reduce the downstream contact area.

    Abstract: A sheet feeding device has a mounting portion allowing a stack of sheets to be mounted in a top-bottom direction, a suction/transportation portion provided above the mounting portion for attracting a first sheet positioned on top of the stack, and a blowing portion for blowing air to a foremost edge of the first sheet in a transportation direction while the first sheet is being attracted by the suction/transportation portion, thereby separating the first sheet from a second sheet next to the first sheet. After the first sheet is separated from the second sheet, the suction/transportation portion transports the first sheet in the transportation direction. The suction/transportation portion sets a suction force applied to the foremost edge of the first sheet smaller when the blowing portion blows air to the first sheet than when the suction/transportation portion transports the first sheet.
