Abstract
A first air blowing portion including an upper duct and a first fan blows air along a first surface of a sheet passing through a sheet conveying path in a direction orthogonal to a sheet conveying direction, and a second air blowing portion including a lower duct and a second fan blows air along a second surface opposed to the first surface of the sheet passing through the sheet conveying path in a direction reverse to the direction orthogonal to the sheet conveying direction of the first air blowing portion, so that both surfaces of the sheet are cooled.
