Abstract
The image forming apparatus cools the recording sheet with a cooling fan having an air duct with a first air-blowing outlet and a second air-blowing outlet for directing air from the cooling fan to an interior of the apparatus. An air flow changing member opens or closes the first and second air-blowing outlets, depending on the conveying path of the recording sheet.
