Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fixing device includes a fixing device for nipping and feeding a sheet to fix a toner image on a sheet, said fixing device including a first fixing member contactable with a front surface of the sheet, and a second fixing member provided with an electroconductive surface layer contactable with a back surface of the sheet; a feeder provided downstream of said fixing device with respect to a sheet feeding direction to nip and feed the sheet, a feeder including a first feeding roller contactable with the front surface, and a second feeding roller provided with an electroconductive surface layer contactable with the back surface; a first discharging member contacted with said electroconductive surface layer of said second fixing member to discharge said second fixing member; and a second discharging member contacted with said electroconductive surface layer of said second feeding roller to discharge said second feeding roller.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fixing apparatus comprising: a fixing device configured to nip and feed a sheet to fix a toner image on a sheet, said fixing device including (i) a first fixing member contactable with a toner image carrying surface of the sheet, and (ii) a second fixing member provided with a first electroconductive surface layer, which has a volume resistivity of 10 7 -10 11 Ωcm, contactable with a surface of the sheet opposite to the toner image carrying surface; a f…
