Abstract
A fixing device includes a heater, a heating roller, a pressure rotary member, and guide member. The heating roller has an outer circumferential surface, has a center and one and another ends in a rotational axis direction thereof, and is rotated while being heated. The pressure rotary member is in pressure contact with part of the outer circumferential surface of the heating roller extending in an axial direction of the heating roller so as to be rotated while forming a pressure contact portion which allows a recording medium bearing an unfixed image to be introduced thereinto and pass therethrough. The guide member guides a leading end of the recording medium toward part of the outer circumferential surface of the heating roller approaching the pressure contact portion. An outer diameter of the heating roller gradually reduces from the center toward the one and the other ends.
