Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image holding member; a charging unit; an electrostatic image forming unit; a developing unit; a transfer unit; and a fixing unit that fixes the toner image on the recording medium. The toner has an amorphous polyester resin and has a weight-average molecular weight Mw in a range of 25,000 to 60,000, a ratio Mw/Mn is within a range of 5 to 10, a ratio of an absorbance at a wavenumber of 1500 cm −1  to an absorbance at a wavenumber of 720 cm −1  is 0.6 or less, and a ratio of an absorbance at a wavenumber of 820 cm −1  to the absorbance at a wavenumber of 720 cm −1  is 0.4 or less. The fixing unit includes a heat roll having an elastic component, an endless belt and a pressure pad that is disposed on an inner side of the endless belt.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the fixing unit further includes a guide member disposed on two end portions in a longitudinal direction of the endless belt, the guide member rotatably supporting an inner circumferential surface of the endless belt.
