A temperature equalizing roller includes a metal pipe, a heat pipe that is located inside the metal pipe and has a thermal expansion coefficient higher than that of the metal pipe, and a joining layer. The joining layer lies between an outer peripheral surface of the heat pipe and an inner peripheral surface of the metal pipe, joins the outer peripheral surface of the heat pipe and the inner peripheral surface of the metal pipe, and has a higher thermal conductivity than a thermal conductivity of air.

A fixing device includes: a heating belt configured to heat a toner to be transferred onto a sheet; a heater for heating the heating belt; a peeling blade for peeling off the sheet adhering to the heating belt; and a driving unit configured to drive the peeling blade between a contact position where the driving unit brings the peeling blade into contact with the heating belt and a separated position where the driving unit separates the peeling blade from the heating belt. The peeling blade is located in the contact position until the heating belt rotates at least once.

In the light amount correction in the main scanning direction, sets of correction values of black and cyan for which the reflection frequency of optical elements are equal to an even number of times are made common to each other (a correction value set—KC), and sets of correction values of magenta and yellow for which the reflection frequency of optical elements are equal to an odd number of times are made common to each other (a correction value set—MY), whereby sets of correction values stored in a correction value storage portion in a correction value setting portion are reduced to two sets. Furthermore, in connection with this, the number of DA converters is reduced to two DA converters of a DA converter—K, C and a DA converter—M, Y.
