Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a fixing unit including a fixing belt, a pressurizing rotator that forms a nip portion between the fixing belt and the pressurizing rotator by pressurizing an outer peripheral surface of the fixing belt, a first heating rotator that is provided so as to contact an inner peripheral surface of the fixing belt in the nip portion and heats the fixing belt, and a second heating unit that heats the fixing belt separately from the first heating rotator, wherein a toner to be used has physical properties described in the specification and includes an amorphous resin, a crystalline resin, and paraffin wax having a melting temperature of 60° C. to 80° C., and an absolute value of a difference in a melting temperature between the crystalline resin and the paraffin wax is 10° C. or less.

Claim (Index 10):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein an area to be heated, in which the fixing belt is heated by the second heating unit, is an area on a downstream side of the nip portion in a rotation direction of the fixing belt, and is within 50% of a circumferential length of the fixing belt from the nip portion.
