Image forming device

An image forming device comprising:

• a transfer unit that transfers a toner image onto a recording medium being conveyed;
• a first heating unit that is arranged downstream of the transfer unit in a conveyance direction of the recording medium, comes into contact with the recording medium to heat the recording medium, and fixes the toner image onto the recording medium, the first heating unit comprising a first member and a second member;
• a reversing unit that reverses front and back of the recording medium having a first toner image fixed onto a first surface of the recording medium by the first heating unit, and sends the recording medium to the transfer unit;
• and
• a second heating unit that is arranged between the transfer unit and the first heating unit in the conveyance direction of the recording medium and heats the recording medium having a second toner image transferred onto a second surface of the recording medium, wherein
• the second heating unit heats the recording medium so that a temperature of the first surface of the recording medium is lower than a softening point of a toner before the recording medium is heated by the first heating unit, and
• the first member includes a heater, and a heater is not provided with the second member, the second member contacting the first surface of the recording medium when the reversing unit reverses front and back of the recording medium and the recording medium having the second toner image transferred onto the second surface of the recording medium is heated by the first heating unit.
