Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device configured to fix a toner to a recording medium, a cooling device disposed so as to cool the fixing device with forced air, and a rotatable guide configured to guide the recording medium towards a first location when in a first position and towards a second location when in a second position. The rotatable guide partially blocks the forced air at the first position and forms a pathway for the forced air when at the second position. A control unit rotates the guide unit to the second position if an operating mode of the fixing device is changed from a first mode having a fixing temperature set point at a first temperature to a second mode having a fixing set point temperature lower than the first temperature.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein\n the fixing device can be operated in a decolorable toner fixing mode for fixing a decolorable toner to the recording medium, and the control unit is configured to cool the fixing device in the transition from any mode other than the decolorable toner fixing mode to the decolorable toner fixing mode.
