Abstract:
A fixing apparatus includes a fixing belt and an induced current generation section. The fixing belt includes a conductive layer. The induced current generation section faces the fixing belt. The induced current generation section includes a coil and a magnetic body. The coil generates a magnetic flux. The magnetic body faces the fixing belt across the coil. In the magnetic body, a part facing an end in a width direction of the fixing belt is set as a movable magnetic body capable of moving in a width direction.

Claim (Index 15):
A fixing method, comprising:\n arranging a fixing belt having a conductive layer so as to face an induced current generation section of a fixing apparatus; generating a magnetic flux using a coil provided in the induced current generation section; disposing a magnetic body so as to face the fixing belt across from the coil; positioning at least a portion of the magnetic body so as to face an end portion of the fixing belt in a width direction, causing at least the portion of the magnetic body to move in the width direction, such that at least the portion of the magnetic body facing the end portion in the width direction of the fixing belt is a movable magnetic body, controlling movement of the movable magnetic body, detecting, by a temperature sensor, a temperature of the end portion in the width direction of the fixing belt, and moving the movable magnetic body responsive to detected temperature information from the temperature sensor.
