ABSTRACT:
A fixing apparatus which fixes a toner image at a nip portion formed by a belt member and a rotating member controls a deviation of a belt by changing an inclination of a belt supporting member during a fixing operation. During a standby operation in which the belt member and the rotating member are separated from each other, the fixing apparatus stops changing the inclination of the belt supporting member and regulates the deviation of the belt by contacting a flange provided at the belt supporting member and a belt end portion.
