Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a fixing part for fixing a toner image formed on a transfer material to said transfer material; a fan provided on a downstream side of said fixing part, for blowing air to said transfer material having passed through said fixing part; and an airflow control part for controlling an amount of air to be blown from said fan, wherein when a basis weight of said transfer material is larger than a first threshold value, said airflow control part sets said amount of air to be blown to a value smaller than that in a case where the basis weight of said transfer material is smaller than said first threshold value, and when the basis weight of said transfer material is larger than a second threshold value which is larger than said first threshold value, said airflow control part sets said amount of air to be blown to a value smaller than that in a case where the basis weight of said transfer material is smaller than said second threshold value.
