Original Abstract Submitted
A fixing device includes a heating rotary body, a pressing unit that presses a recording medium against the heating rotary body at a fixation region, a backward rotation unit that rotates the heating rotary body in a direction opposite to a direction of rotation at a time of fixation in a case where the recording medium is wound around the heating rotary body, and a peeling unit that is brought relatively close to an outer peripheral surface of the heating rotary body at a position upstream of the fixation region in a transport direction of the recording medium and that peels off the recording medium wound around the heating rotary body at a time of backward rotation of the heating rotary body.
