an opposed rotary body such as a roller or a belt pressed against the fixing rotary body. The toner image is fixed onto the recording medium under heat and pressure while the recording medium is conveyed between the fixing member and the opposed member.
For example, a fixing device may include an endless belt heated by a heater while rotating and a rotary body to press against an outer circumference surface of the endless belt to form a fixing nip between the rotary body and the endless belt. A recording medium such as a paper sheet bearing a toner image is conveyed through the fixing nip while being heated. Thus, the fixing device fixes the toner image on the recording medium.
Such a fixing device may include a separation supporterof the Lenin and state prizes, in village Maly Vasilyev, Moscow Oblast, Soviet Union (d. 1998)
