IMAGE FORMING METHOD

PURPOSE:To prevent the accompanying turning of a sheet by using a fixing device where a paper ejecting direction is close to a pressure roller than the virtical direction of a line connecting the centers of a fixing roller and the pressure roller. CONSTITUTION:The fixing unit to be used here is such that the paper ejecting direction at the time of feeding blank paper is close to the pressure roller than the virtical direction of the line connecting the centers of the fixing roller and the pressure roller. As for methods for setting the paper ejecting direction close to the pressure roller, for example, the hardness of the pressure roller is set to be higher than the fixing roller, and the diameter of the fixing roller is set to be larger than the pressure roller, etc. Moreover, a heating device is fitted to not only the fixing roller but also the pressure roller. The accompanying turning can be less here than where the heating device is fitted to only the fixing roller.
