Abstract:
A fixing device is for fixing a developing agent image to a recording sheet by electrostatically spraying a charged fixing solution toward the developing agent image on the sheet. The fixing device includes a container portion, a plurality of nozzles, and a potential difference generating portion. The container portion is configured to store therein the fixing solution. The plurality of nozzles is in communication with the container portion and configured to spray the fixing solution toward the developing agent image. The potential difference generating portion is configured to generate a potential difference between the fixing solution stored in the plurality of nozzles and the recording sheet conveyed at a position separated from the plurality of nozzles.

Claim (Index 17):
The fixing device according to  claim 16 , further comprising an electric current sensor configured to detect an electric current flowing in the fixing solution,\n wherein the controller is configured to control voltage such that the electric current value detected by the electric current sensor becomes the determined electric current value.
