Abstract:
The present invention cuts a sheet in a state in which the sheet has passed through a nip part in its entirety. An image formation device 1 comprises a device body 2, an image formation unit, a fixing device 6, and a cutter 7. The image formation unit forms an image on a sheet. The fixing device 6 has a heating rotor 61 and a pressurizing rotor 62 that forms a nip part NP with the heating rotor 61, and fixes the image on the sheet S. The cutter 7 is disposed on the downstream side of the fixing device 6 in the conveying direction of the sheet S, and can cut the sheet S. The cutter 7 can cut the sheet S to be cut at a central position P of the sheet S in the conveying direction. A distance D1 by which the sheet S is conveyed from the nip part NP to the cutter 7 is larger than half a dimension LS of the sheet S in the conveying direction (D1 > LS/2).
