Abstract
A fixing device includes an endless fixing belt, a fixing roller, a pressing member, and a heating unit. The heating unit includes a coil, a bobbin, an arch core, an arch core holder, and a cover. The cover covers the arch core holder from outward in the radial direction and forms an axially extending gas flow passage between the cover and the arch core holder. The cover has a pair of first opening portions disposed in opposite end parts of it along the axial direction and a second opening portion disposed in a middle part of it along the axial direction. An airflow entering the flow passage through one of the first and second opening portions circulates along the axial direction and is discharged through the other.
