IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

摘要

An image forming apparatus, including: an image forming portion; a discharge portion configured to discharge a recording material on which an image is formed by the image forming portion, wherein a delivery conveyance portion having a power source circuit is mountable in a space adjacent to the image forming portion and configured to convey the recording material to a post-processing apparatus; a detection unit configured to detect a temperature; a cooling unit configured to cool the image forming portion; and a control unit configured to control, in a case where the delivery conveyance portion is mounted, rotation and stop of the cooling unit based on the temperature detected by the detection unit in a second state in which start of an operation of forming the image is waited for after a first state in which the image is formed on the recording material by the image forming portion.
