Abstract:
A fixing device includes a plurality of heating members, a press roller, and an intermediate temperature control unit. The plurality of heating members are each in contact with an inside of a rotating body. The rotating body also has a width which is equal to or greater than a width of a recording medium to be printed. The intermediate temperature control unit has a medium width detecting unit configured to detect a width of the recording medium and a print width detecting unit configured to detect a print width of recording data and control a portion of the heating member corresponding to an intermediate heating area. The intermediate heating area is maintained at a set intermediate temperature which is lower than a set temperature of a printing heating area.

Claim (Index 26):
The fixing device of  claim 24 , wherein the intermediate temperature control unit is configured to turn off at least one switch operatively connected to one of the heating members in an area which is outside the width of the recording medium and is inside the width of the plurality of heating members disposed in parallel.
