Abstract
An image forming apparatus wherein an image is fixed by transporting through a nip of fixing rollers. The nip is inclined with respect to a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the transfer material toward the fixing rollers. The inclination is such that the part of the nip engageable with that one lateral end of the transfer material which is acted on by the separating mechanism is upstream as compared with the part of the nip engageable with the other lateral end which is not acted on by the separating mechanism with respect to the movement of the transfer material toward the fixing rollers.
