Fixing apparatus having fixing device with first and second fixing members, feeding device with first and second feeding rollers, and first and second electrical discharging members

A fixing apparatus comprising:

• a fixing device configured to nip and feed a sheet to fix a toner image on the sheet, said fixing device including (i) a first fixing member provided with a first fluorinated resin material layer having a volume resistivity of not less than 1012 Ωcm or more and contactable with a toner image carrying surface of the sheet, and (ii) a second fixing member provided with a second fluorinated resin material layer having a volume resistivity of 107-1011 Ωcm and contactable with a surface of the sheet opposite the toner image carrying surface;
• a feeding device provided downstream of said fixing device with respect to a feeding direction of the sheet and configured to nip and feed the sheet, said feeding device including (i) a first feeding roller provided with a third fluorinated resin material layer having a volume resistivity of not less than 1013 Ωcm or more and contactable with the toner image carrying surface of the sheet, and (ii) a second feeding roller provided with a fourth fluorinated resin material layer having a volume resistivity of 105-108 Ωcm and contactable with the opposite surface of the sheet;
• a first electrical discharging member contacted with said second fluorinated resin material layer to electrically discharge said second fluorinated resin material layer;
• and
• a second electrical discharging member contacted with said fourth fluorinated resin material layer to electrically discharge said fourth fluorinated resin material layer.
