ABSTRACT:
A fusing device for an image forming apparatus including a cylindrical fusing roller, a pressure roller installed opposite to the fusing roller and pressing a sheet of paper passing therebetween, and an inductive heating element simultaneously heating the fusing roller and the pressure roller. The fusing device reduces the time to reach a fusing temperature by heating both the fusing roller and the pressure roller with a closed magnetic core extending between hollow portions of each.
