Abstract
A fixing device includes a fixing belt, a pressuring member, a heat source and a nip member. The fixing belt is arranged rotatably. The pressuring member is arranged rotatably to come into pressure contact with the fixing belt so as to form a fixing nip. The heat source is arranged at the inside in a radial direction of the fixing belt to radiate a radiant heat. The nip member is arranged so as to sandwich the fixing belt between the nip member and the pressuring member. The heat source, the fixing belt and the nip member are arranged so that the radiant heat radiated from the heat source reaches directly an inner circumference face of the fixing belt and the nip member.
