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 5):
A fixing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a drive connection mechanism configured to shut off or permit drive transmission from said motor to said first rotatable member or the second rotatable member after sending a drive connection signal to said drive connection mechanism.
