A fixing device, an image forming apparatus having the same include a
fixing member having an outer peripheral face with which a sheet to be
transported is brought into pressure contact, an exciting coil for
induction heating of a heat generating layer of the fixing member, and an
RF power supply circuit for applying a voltage of a certain drive
frequency to the exciting coil. A degaussing coil is placed in small size
sheet non-passing regions corresponding to end sections of the outer
peripheral face of the fixing member with respect to the width direction
of the sheet. A changeover switch opens or closes the degaussing coil in
accordance with the size of the sheet to be transported. A control
section is provided for changing and setting a drive frequency of the RF
power supply circuit along with opening or closing of the degaussing
coil.
