Abstract:
According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes an air intake unit, a first blower path, a second blower path, and an air discharge unit. The air intake unit introduces air. The first blower path guides the air introduced by the air intake unit and cools the developer device. The second blower path ventilates an inside or a periphery of the charging device by using air guided from the first blower path. The air discharge unit discharges air guided from the second blower path to an outside of a predetermined range.

Claim (Index 11):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a photoreceptor; a charging device that electrically charges a surface of the photoreceptor; an exposing device that exposes the electrically-charged photoreceptor to light and forms an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoreceptor; a developer device that develops the electrostatic latent image and forms a toner image on the surface of the photoreceptor; an air intake unit that introduces air; a first blower path that guides the air introduced by the air intake unit and cools the developer device; a second blower path that ventilates an inside or a periphery of the charging device by using air guided from the first blower path; and a communication path that guides the air guided from the first blower path to the second blower path, the communication path having a flow rate adjustment structure that adjusts a flow rate of the air from the first blower path to the second blower path.
