ABSTRACT:
A fixing device includes i) two surface moving bodies, at least one of which is driven so that the surface moving bodies come in contact with each other and a nip is formed and ii) a heat source configured to heat at least one of the surface moving bodies. A transfer medium is put in the nip so that the toner image is heat-fixed on the transfer medium. A separation plate is provided and is configured to remove the transfer medium. Rise of temperature of a head end part, at a side of the surface moving body, of the separation plate is given priority over rise of temperature of other parts of the separation plate.
