ABSTRACT:
A fixing device for an image forming apparatus includes a fixing member and coating member in contact there with for coating a parting agent on the surface of the fixing member. A feeding member is in contact with the coating member in order to feed the parting agent to the coating member. A holding member contains the parting agent and is held in sliding contact with the feeding member to thereby deposit the parting agent on the feeding member. The rotational speed of the coating member is controlled by a coefficient of friction between the coating member and the fixing member.
