Abstract:
A fixing device includes a first rotatable member, a second rotatable member, a heat generating member, a temperature detecting member configured to detect a temperature of the heat generating member, a motor configured to drive the first rotatable member or the second rotatable member, and a controller configured to control the fixing device. The controller causes the motor to rotate in a state in which predetermined electric power is supplied to the heat generating member and then supply of electric power to the heat generating member is stopped. On the basis of a change amount of a detected temperature of the temperature detecting member during rotation of the motor, the controller detects a rotational state of the first rotatable member or the second rotatable member.

Claim (Index 6):
A fixing device according to  claim 5 , wherein said drive connection mechanism includes a gear capable of being inserted into and deformed from between said motor and said first rotatable member or said second rotatable member and configured to connect drive from said motor to said first rotatable member or said second rotatable member.
