ABSTRACT:
A belt-type fixing device for an image forming apparatus is capable of raising a temperature to a level suitable for a fixing process in a short period of time with high heating efficiency. A fixing belt is entrained in spanning relation between a heating plate providing a heat generator on the inner surface of the semi-cylindrical plate and a pressing pad disposed at a distance from the heating plate. A pressing roller is disposed at a position opposing the pressing pad. The fixing belt is revolved by rotating the pressing roller. A recording medium having a toner adhered thereto is caused to pass through a nip portion of the fixing belt and the pressing roller.
