Zusammenfassung:A fusing device includes: a pressure member that forms a paper contact part between the pressure member and a heating member; and a guide member disposed in the vicinity of the pressure member on the other side of which the paper contact part is formed. The guide member has a first guide wall and an outlet. The first guide wall is disposed in the close proximity of the peripheral surface of the pressure member on the other side of which the paper contact part is formed. The outlet allows cooling air to go away from the pressure roller. The cooling air is supplied from a fan then comes downstream through a passage formed by the first guide wall. The guide member is configured such that a distance between the first guide wall and the pressure member is the shortest at a most downstream part of the passage.
