Abstract:
An endless belt includes a base layer having an endless belt shape, an elastic layer provided on the base layer, and a surface layer provided on the elastic layer. The surface layer contains fluororesin. The surface layer is provided with at least one mark portion formed through alteration of the surface layer by spot irradiation with laser light having an ultraviolet-region wavelength.

Claim (Index 9):
The fixing device according to  claim 6 , further comprising a rotation detector disposed facing the surface layer, the rotation detector detecting a number of rotations of the endless belt, wherein\n the surface layer includes a passage area through which the mark portion passes by rotation of the endless belt, the rotation detector includes\n a light emitting portion that emits light toward a part of the passage area, and \n a light receiving portion that receives light reflected off the part of the passage area, and \n the rotation detector detects changes in the light received by the light receiving portion to detect the number of rotations of the endless belt.
