Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a transfer apparatus which transfers a toner image formed at an image forming portion to a sheet; a fixing apparatus which pressurizes and fixes the toner image transferred to the sheet at the transfer apparatus onto the sheet; and a conveying portion which is placed downstream of the fixing apparatus in a sheet conveying direction and which conveys the sheet fed out from the fixing apparatus, wherein the fixing apparatus includes first and second pressure rotating members which are rotatable supported so that respective axis lines are in parallel to each other in a state of being viewed from the sheet conveying direction and the respective axis lines are intersected at a predetermined intersection angle in a state of being viewed from a direction perpendicular to the sheet conveying direction, and the conveying portion includes first and second conveying rotating members which are rotatable supported so that respective axis lines are in parallel to each other in a state of being viewed from a sheet conveying direction and the respective axis lines are intersected at an intersection angle being in the opposite direction to that between the first and second pressure rotating members in a state of being viewed from a direction perpendicular to the sheet conveying direction.
