Abstract:
A fixing device includes a heating body, a pressuring body, a heating source, a guiding part, a temperature sensing part and a charging part. The heating source supplies the heating body heat used for heating the medium. The guiding part guides the medium to a nip between the heating body and the pressuring body, at an upstream side from the nip in a conveying direction of the medium. The temperature sensing part senses a temperature of the heating body. The charging part electrically discharges to electrically charge the heating body with the same polarity as toner, at an opposite side to the guiding part across the temperature sensing part. The charging part includes a discharging electrode electrically discharging toward the heating body facing to the discharging electrode and an enclosure wall supporting the discharging electrode, enclosing the discharging electrode and producing an electric field in cooperation with the discharging electrode.
