Abstract:
A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressing member, a cover, and a separation member. The cover is movable between a closing position at which a conveyance path is formed and an opening position at which the conveyance path is exposed. The cover includes a recess. The separation member is movable between a contact position at which the separation member comes in contact with a face of the fixing member and a withdrawing position at which the separation member is separated from the fixing member. The separation member separates a medium from the face of the fixing member in a state in which the separation member is arranged at the contact position. A tip end part of the separation member enters an interior of the recess of the cover in a state in which the separation member is arranged at the withdrawing position.

Claim (Index 3):
The fixing device according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein a cam part is formed at an end in an axial direction of the cover, the cover rotates around an opening-and-closing shaft extended in the axial direction, the separation member includes: an arm to rotate around a separation shaft extended in an axial direction of the fixing member; a separation plate to be fixed to a supporting member connected to the arm, a tip end of the separation plate coming in contact with the face of the fixing member; and a contact part to be provided at a tip end of the arm and to move while coming in contact with the cam part, the pressure releasing part includes an eccentric cam, and the eccentric cam is fixed to an end in an axial direction of the opening-and-closing shaft and is contactable with a frame to support the pressing member, when the cover rotates upward from the closing position to the opening position, the separation member rotates upward from the contact position to the withdrawing position while the contact part is moving along the cam part, and the eccentric cam rotates with the opening-and-closing shaft and pushes out the frame, thereby changing the pressure of the pressing area from the first pressure to the second pressure.
