Original Abstract Submitted
a fixing device includes: a fixing member to be used in fixing an image on a recording medium; a rotatable member pressed against the fixing member while being allowed to rotate, the rotatable member cooperating with the fixing member in such a manner as to form a pressurization part where the recording medium is to be pressurized; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a rotational driving force to the rotatable member. the rotatable member is movable in a toward-and-away direction relative to the fixing member. the toward-and-away direction of the rotatable member is different from a direction in which the driving force transmitted by the transmission unit acts.
