A fixing device for heating and pressing a recording medium carrying an
unfixed toner image or an unfixed ink image to fix the unfixed toner
image or the unfixed ink image on the recording medium, includes a
heating roller which has a heating source and has an endless peripheral
surface moves around an axis, a pressure roller which is pressed onto the
peripheral surface of the heating roller, and presses the recording
medium passing between the pressure roller and the heating roller onto
the peripheral surface of the heating roller, and plural cleaning
sections which are provided to make contact with the heating roller. At
least one of the cleaning sections is set, at a portion making contact
with the heating roller, to have a relatively negative potential with
respect to a surface potential of the heating roller.
