Fixing device and image forming apparatus

Abstract

A fixing device includes a heating belt that is provided rotatably around an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a transport direction of a recording medium as an axial direction, and is configured to heat a developer on the recording medium; a support member that is provided inside the heating belt and supports the heating belt; and plural pressing rotational bodies that each are rotatable around the orthogonal direction as an axial direction, are arranged in the transport direction, and are configured to press the heating belt and the recording medium toward the support member.
