摘要:
A fixing apparatus including at least one transfer and fixing member which is placed in contact with an image carrier and a recording medium and configured to transfer and fix an image on the image carrier to the recording medium, at least detection mechanism configured to detect a jam generated on the recording medium, a separation mechanism configured to contact the transfer and fixing member with and separate from the transfer and fixing member from the image carrier or recording medium, the separation mechanism being configured to separate the transfer and fixing member from the image carrier or recording medium when the jam on the recording medium is detected by the detection mechanism.
摘要:
In a fixing member (10) in which an elastic layer made of heat-resistance synthetic rubber and a releasing layer made of fluorocarbon resin are sequentially provided on a substrate, a melting point of the fluorocarbon resin constituting the releasing layer (3) is set to be at least 20° C. lower than a temperature for starting an oxidation of the heat-resistance synthetic rubber constituting the elastic layer (2), and the releasing layer (3) is baked at a temperature which is higher than the melting point of the fluorocarbon resin constituting the releasing layer (3), and a baking temperature which does not exceed the starting temperature for the oxidation of the heat-resistance rubber constituting the elastic layer (2).
