A coil for generating a high-frequency magnetic field is provided in a heating
roller. The coil is connected to a capacitor, constituting a resonant circuit.
The resonant circuit is incorporated in a high-frequency wave generating circuit.
A current-detecting circuit detects the current supplied to the high-frequency
wave generating circuit. The supply of the current to the high-frequency wave generating
circuit is controlled in accordance with the current detected by the current-detecting
circuit and the logic level of an operation-on signal.
