Abstract:
A fixing device includes a heating body, a pressuring body, a charging part and a collecting part. The heating body contacts with a medium having a toner image while rotating to heat the medium. The pressuring body forms a nip with the heating roller while rotating to pressure the medium passing through the nip with the heating body. The charging part is positioned to face to the heating body and electrically discharges to electrically charge the heating body with the same polarity as polarity of toner. The collecting part is positioned to face to a position at an upstream side with respect to a facing position on the heating body to the charging part and at a downstream side with respect to a forming position of the nip in a rotating direction of the heating body, and collects impurities caused by the medium passing the nip by absorbing or removing.

Claim (Index 1):
A fixing device comprising:\n a heating body coming into contact with a medium, on which a toner image is formed, while rotating to heat the medium; a pressuring body forming a nip in cooperation with the heating roller while rotating to pressure the medium passing through the nip in cooperation with the heating body; a charging part positioned to face to the heating body and electrically discharging to electrically charge the heating body with the same polarity as polarity of toner; and a collecting part positioned to face to a position at an upstream side with respect to a facing position on the heating body to the charging part and at a downstream side with respect to a forming position of the nip in a rotating direction of the heating body, and collecting impurities caused by the medium passing the nip by absorbing or removing.
