Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing apparatus capable of preventing occurrence of a fixing failure.SOLUTION: A fixing apparatus fixes an unfixed image on a recording sheet by applying pressurization and heating. A heating member includes resistance heaters 63a-63g for heating seven divided heating areas formed along a width direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording sheet, respectively. Thermistors 68a-68g for detecting fixing belt temperature are arranged in each of the heating areas. Heating control means controls the resistance heaters 63b and 63f on the basis of detection result detected by the thermistor 68d located within sheet width when a paper-passing pattern is a second paper-passing pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】定着不良が生じることを防止することができる定着装置を提供すること。【解決手段】加圧と加熱とによって未定着画像を記録紙上に定着させる定着装置であって、加熱部材が記録紙の搬送方向と直交する幅方向に沿って7つに分割された加熱領域をそれぞれ加熱する抵抗発熱ヒータ63a〜63gで構成され、定着ベルト温度を検知するサーミスタ68a〜68gを各加熱領域ごとに設け、加熱制御手段は、通紙パターンが第2の通紙パターンである場合には、紙幅内に位置するサーミスタ68dの検知結果に基づき抵抗発熱ヒータ63b、63fを制御する。【選択図】図9
