Abstract
A fixing device includes an endless belt, a stretching roller, a tension roller and a lubricant supplying roller. The tension roller is movable between a first urging position where the tension roller urges the belt and a first urge releasing position where the tension roller does not urge the belt. The lubricant supplying roller is movable between a second urging position where the lubricant supplying roller urges the belt in a state in which the tension roller is positioned in the first urging position and a second urge releasing position where the lubricant supplying roller does not urge the belt. The lubricant supplying roller is moved from the second urging position to the second urge releasing position in interlocking with a moving operation of the tension roller from the first urging position to the first urge releasing position.
