Abstract
A fixing device includes a fixing member, a first roller, a second roller, a detector, and an adjustment unit. The fixing member fixes, on a recording medium, a toner image formed on the recording medium. The first roller performs cleaning of toner sticking to a surface of the fixing member. The second roller collects the toner sticking to a surface of the first roller. The detector detects a temperature of the second roller. The adjustment unit adjusts the temperature of the second roller on a basis of a result of detection performed by the detector.
