Zusammenfassung:A fixing device includes a fixing rotator that is rotatable and a heater that heats the fixing rotator. An opposed rotator contacts the fixing rotator to form a fixing nip between the fixing rotator and the opposed rotator. A recording medium bearing an unfixed image is conveyed through the fixing nip. A temperature detector detects a temperature of the fixing rotator. A support supports the temperature detector. An air flow generator generates an air flow directed from a back face to a detecting face of the temperature detector.
