A belt type image fixing device, including: an image fixing endless belt,
having: an electrically conductive layer; and an insulation layer to
cover the electrically conductive layer; a pressure applying member to
press against the image fixing endless belt, having: an electrically
conductive layer; and an insulation layer to cover the electrically
conductive layer; and an electrical voltage applying device which applies
an electrical voltage to the electrical conductive layer of the image
fixing endless belt, and to the electrical conductive layer of the
pressure applying member, wherein the image fixing endless belt and the
pressure applying member form a nipping portion which nips and conveys a
recording medium carrying a toner image, and wherein a predetermined
difference of electrical voltage is created between the image fixing
endless belt and the pressure applying member, so that the recording
medium is evenly nipped, and the toner image is evenly fixed.
