PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of preventing winding jam of a sheet that can occur by curving of a leading edge of the sheet in a sheet conveyance direction.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit 3 that forms a toner image, and transfers the formed toner image to a sheet S; a fixing pair 42 that heats the sheet S to which the toner image is transferred by the image forming unit 3, and fixes the toner image to the sheet S; and a cooling fan 41 and a first air blowing duct 45c that are arranged on a sheet conveyance path on the downstream side in a sheet conveyance direction of the fixing pair 42, apply relative temperature difference to the sheet S that passes the sheet conveyance path in a sheet width direction orthogonal to the sheet conveyance direction, and curve the passing sheet S at at least one position in the sheet width direction. |
