<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of image defects, cleaning defects, or the like and to improve print processing capability of duplex printing. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus with heat generating parts comprises; first reversing means with an internal reversing path provided in the apparatus for reversing a front surface and a back surface of paper on which an image is formed by an image forming part; second reversing means with an external reversing path for drawing the paper into the apparatus after exposing a part of the paper on which the image is formed by the image forming part outside the apparatus and reversing the front surface and the back surface of the paper; path selection means for selecting the reversing path by switching the internal reversing path and the external reversing path; and temperature determining means for detecting the temperature in the apparatus. The path selection means switches the internal reversing path and the external reversing path according to the temperature detected by the temperature determining means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
