Abstract:
A fixing device includes a fixing member having a medium heating member and rotating while nipping a medium to fix an unfixed image onto a surface thereof; a pressing member disposed facing the fixing member and applying pressure to the medium in a fixing region between the pressing and heating members; a cleaning member; and an antistatic member. The cleaning member is disposed downstream of the fixing region in a rotational direction of the pressing member and comes into contact therewith in a cleaning region extending in a direction orthogonal to a medium transport direction to clean the pressing member. The antistatic member is disposed downstream of the cleaning member and comes into contact with a surface of the pressing member in an antistatic region, which overlaps the cleaning region in the direction orthogonal to the medium transport direction, so as to eliminate static electricity from the pressing member.
