ABSTRACT:
The housing of an image forming apparatus is divided into upper and lower units, separated by a sheet transport path. The upper unit can be opened to expose the sheet transport path. Developer on a sheet is fixed by a heating roller and a pressing roller, both arranged in the sheet transport path. The sheet, which is likely to be wound around the heating roller, is reliably released from the heating roller by releasing claws. When the upper unit is opened, the releasing claws are separated from the heating roller by a claw contact/separation means. When the upper unit is closed, the releasing claws are automatically brought into contact with the heating roller.
