Abstract
A new flash fixing device configured to fix a toner image by a flash light is presented. This flash fixing device includes a plurality of flash lamps arranged parallel to each other, and a reflection board including a plurality of side part reflection surfaces each facing from a side to the respective flash lamps. In a case where a surface including two central axes of the two flash lamps arranged one at each end is defined as a standard surface, an acute angle against the standard surface is set to be decreased as the side part reflection surface is positioned closer to a center of the arrangement of the plurality of the flash lamps.
