ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a box shaped main body and a fixing device that is provided in the main body. The fixing device includes a heating roller that has a length nearly corresponding to the maximum width of paper and a pressure roller that has a substantially same length as the length of the heating roller and comes in contact with the heating roller, and a contact/separation mechanism to bring the pressure roller into contact with or separate from the heating roller. The fixing device can be taken out of the main body by moving it in the direction orthogonal to the long direction of the heating roller and the pressure roller.
