A recording apparatus includes an image carrier member, a member for forming a developing agent image by supplying a developing agent on the image carrier member, and a heating member capable of generating heat in a transfer region of the recording apparatus, wherein transfer and fixing are performed substantially simultaneously by the heating member. According to this invention, it is possible to realize a recording apparatus which consumes little power and requires only a short warm-up time. It is also possible to satisfactorily fix conductive developing agent on plain paper.
