An image forming and recording apparatus, having a fixing apparatus for fixing unfixed toner image on a recording medium, wherein the fixing apparatus includes a fixing roller integrating a heater therein, an endless belt wound around the fixing roller, and three pressure members for pressing the endless belt onto the fixing roller. A pressure member located nearest to a side of entry of paper among the three pressure members is made up with a non-rotary type pressure member, and other two pressure members are made up with either one of a rotary type pressure member and the non-rotary type pressure member.

1. An image forming and recording apparatus, having a fixing apparatus for fixing unfixed toner image on a recording medium, wherein said fixing apparatus comprises:a fixing roller integrating a heater therein; an endless belt wound around said fixing roller; and three pressure members for pressing said endless belt onto said fixing roller; wherein a pressure member located nearest to a side of entry of paper among said three pressure members is made up with a non-rotary type pressure member, and other two pressure members are made up with either one of a rotary type pressure member and the non-rotary type pressure member. 2. The image forming and recording apparatus,as defined in claim 1, wherein pressure, being applied onto said fixing roller through said endless belt, has three peaks, and pressure of a second peak from the side of entry of paper is larger than those of other two peaks, among said three peaks. 3. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in claim 1, wherein contact widths of said three pressure members, where they are pressing on said fixing roller through said endless belt, are in an order of: the pressure member of the paper entry side, a central pressure member, and a pressure member of a paper exit side, in sizes thereof.4. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in the claim 3 wherein surface pressures of said three pressure members, where they are pressing on said fixing roller through said endless belt, are: from 0.05 (MPa) to 0.2 (MPa) at the pressure member of the paper entry side, from 0.2 (MPa) to 0.50 (MPa) at the central pressure member, and from 0.1 (MPa) to 0.3 (MPa) at the pressure member of the paper exit side, in amplitude thereof.5. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in claim 1, wherein a heat-insulating layer is formed on a surface of the pressure members.6. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in claim 1, wherein sheet-like member is inserted between said non-rotary pressure member and said endless belt, whereby said sheet-like member holds lubricant therein.7. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in the claim 6 wherein said sheet-like member is made of fluorine fiber, and said lubricant is fluorine oil.8. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in the claim 6, wherein a lubricant supply portion is provided at a portion of said sheet-like member, other than where said sheet-like member is put and pressed between said non-rotary type pressure member and said endless belt, whereby said lubricant supply portion has no contact with an inner peripheral surface of said belt.9. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in any one of claims 1, 2 and 3 to 8 further comprising a single intermediate transcription body, on which are superimposed respective color toner images formed on a photosensitive body, and wherein a toner is used as a medium for manifesting electrostatic images, to be used in images forming, said toner being able to ensure a releasing property from said fixing roller without supplying a liquid releasing agent to said fixing roller in said fixing apparatus.10. The image forming and recording apparatus, as defined in claim 1, wherein a second one from the side entry of paper is made maximum in pressure loading among said three pressure members.
