Abstract:
An image forming apparatus adds heat and pressure to a toner image formed on a sheet, fixes the toner image to the sheet. The apparatus detects a temperature of an end of a fixing device, cools the end of the fixing device, controls a cooling level by a cooling device in accordance with the temperature, predicts a discharge amount of ultra fine particles based on a parameter depending on the cooling level, controls an image forming operation such that the discharge amount of ultra fine particles is reduced in accordance with the discharge amount predicted.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the cooling device comprises a blower unit configured to supply air to the end of the fixing device, and wherein the prediction unit predicts the discharge amount for ultra fine particles by using an air flow amount of the blower unit as a parameter depending on the cooling level.
