Abstract:
A fixation device includes: an endless fixation belt an outer surface of which comes into contact with a printing medium at a fixation position; a contact member which includes a contact surface in contact with an inner surface of the fixation belt at the fixation position, the contact surface being displaceable, in a region corresponding to an end portion in the width direction of the printing medium; and a support member which includes a support surface supporting the contact member. A second distance from a reference passage surface of the printing medium to a widthwise end position on the support surface is larger than a first distance from the reference passage surface of the printing medium to a widthwise center position on the support surface.
