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 6):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a rotary 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; a casing that houses the photoreceptor, the charging device, the exposing device, and the developer device; and a ventilation mechanism that\n introduces air outside the casing from one end side of the photoreceptor in a rotation axis direction, \n guides the introduced air to the developer device and cools the developer device, \n guides the air introduced into the developer device from the developer device to the charging device and ventilates an inside or a periphery of the charging device, and \n discharges the air introduced to the charging device from the one end side of the photoreceptor in the rotation axis direction to an outside of the casing.
