FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
FIG1 is a schematic view illustrating an example of an overall configuration of an image forming apparatus according to an embodiment
FIG1 is a schematic view illustrating an example of an overall configuration of an image forming apparatus 1 according to an embodiment. In FIG1, the image forming apparatus 1 is, for example, a multi-function peripheral (MFP), which is a composite equipment, a printer, or a copying machine. In the following description, a case where the image forming apparatus 1 is the MFP is described as an example. As illustrated in FIG1, the intermediate transfer belt 24 is an endless belt. The intermediate transfer belt 24 is wound around by a secondary transfer backup roller 32, a cleaning backup roller 33, and a tension roller 34. In this example, as the secondary transfer backup roller 32 is rotationally driven, the intermediate transfer belt 24 circulates (rotates) in a direction indicated by the arrow in FIG1. As illustrated in FIG1, a supply unit 41 is arranged above each of the image forming unit 22Y, 22M, 22C, and 22K.
