Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an exposure unit that forms a latent image by irradiating a photoconductor body with light by using light emitting elements that are arranged along an axial direction of the photoconductor body, the exposure unit having an inlet to which air flow is introduced; and an air blowing unit that produces the air flow that is introduced to the exposure unit from an air blow opening that is provided at a position that is in correspondence with a position of the inlet of the exposure unit.
