A fixing device of the present invention has first and second thermistors
which detect the temperatures at predetermined positions in the
longitudinally direction of a heating roller, first and second coils
which can increase independently the temperatures at the center and the
end of the heating roller, a driving circuit which supply power
alternately to the coils, first and second switching circuits which
supply a predetermined power to each coil, a control unit, and a
temperature detection circuit.
