Abstract:
A image forming apparatus includes: a fixing member; a blowing section that generates airflow toward the fixing nip, the airflow being used for separating a sheet from the fixing member; and a hardware processor that performs a control of causing airflow amounts of the blowing section to be different in an axial direction of the fixing member so that part of the airflow flowing from the blowing section toward a non-sheet-passing region of the fixing nip is directed toward the fixing member.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein:\n the hardware processor changes, depending on a width of the sheet passing through the fixing nip, a range within which the direction of the airflow is changed.
