An apparatus for inclining a roller on which a pressure belt is suspended
to perform a deviation control of the pressure belt, which can well
perform the deviation control of the pressure belt even when the pressure
belt has been spaced apart from a fixing roller. A fixing device is
provided with a pressure belt suspended on rollers, a deviation control
device adjusting the deviation of the pressure belt, and a pressure unit
bringing the pressure belt into pressure contact with a fixing roller to
form a nip portion. The deviation control device is designed to be moved
with the pressure unit.
