Abstract:
1. A fixing apparatus comprising: a fixing device configured to set a pressing rotation body in contact with a heating rotation body and, by allowing a material to be fixed having a developing agent image to pass between the heating rotation body and the pressing rotation body, fix the developing agent image, the heating rotation body being configured to have an elastic layer and a conductive layer formed on a surface side of the elastic layer and the pressing rotation body being configured to have an elastic layer; a separation device abutted against the heating rotation body to allow the material to be fixed which is deposited on the heating rotation body to be separated from the heating rotation body; and an adjusting device configured to retain the separation device and have a positioning roller configured to abut against the heating rotation body and, by allowing the positioning roller to follow a surface displacement of the heating rotation body at a rotation time of the heating rotation body, adjust a distance between the separation device and the heating rotation body to be constant.
