FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

A fixing device includes a heating member, a pressing member, and a guide portion. The heating member heats a toner image. At least a surface of the heating member includes an elastic body. The pressing member presses a recording medium against the heating member. The guide portion is in no contact with the heating member, and guides the recording medium, which has been ejected from a contact portion at which the heating member and the pressing member contact each other, toward the downstream side in the moving direction of the recording medium. The distance from an exit of the contact portion to an end portion of the guide portion on the side of the exit of the contact portion differs in accordance with the position in the longitudinal direction of the heating member. The distance at a position at which the pressure between the heating member and the pressing member is low is longer than the distance at a position at which the pressure between the heating member and the pressing member is high.
