Fixing device

A fixing device comprising:

• a roller;
• an endless belt;
• a nip-forming member configured to form a first nip region between the endless belt and the roller;
• a heater;
• a pair of conveyor rollers located downstream of the first nip region in a sheet conveyance direction and configured to convey a sheet through a second nip region formed therebetween;
• and
• a sheet guide located between the roller and the pair of conveyor rollers, the sheet guide comprising a first guide along which to guide a roller-side surface of the sheet,
• wherein in a plane perpendicular to a rotation axis of the roller, the first guide intersects with a line tangent to an outer cylindrical surface of the roller at a downstream end of the first nip region, and
• wherein in the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the roller, an extension line of the first guide intersects with a line segment connecting the downstream end of the first nip region to an upstream end of the second nip region.
