摘要:
A fluorine-containing resin-coated pressure roller exhibiting excellent anti-toner soiling characteristic even at low roller temperatures is provided. The pressure roller includes a cylindrical metal substrate, and a rubber elastic layer, an adhesive layer and a fluorine-containing resin release layer disposed in this order on and successively coating the cylindrical metal substrate. The pressure roller has a surface exhibiting a micro-rubber hardness of at most 50 deg., a contact angle with water of at least 105 deg. and a ten point-average surface roughness Rz of at most 3.0 &mgr;m. The pressure roller may be suitably combined with a fixing film to provide a film heating-type fixing device suitably used in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus.

A device is provided which is capable of removing the charge of a recording medium, even a low charge. The recording medium has an electrically-conductive layer and dielectric layers, and is used for forming a toner image by an image forming apparatus. The device includes a first charge-removing electrode in contact with the electrically-conductive layer of the recording medium and a second charge-removing electrode which is in contact with the dielectric layer of the recording medium and is positioned on a side of the recording medium which is opposite to the side of the first charge-removing electrode. A voltage with the same polarity as that remaining on the surface of the dielectric layer of the recording medium is applied to the first charge-removing electrode, and a voltage with a polarity opposite to that remaining on the surface of the dielectric layer is applied to the second charge-removing electrode.
