<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus coping with reduction in the melting point of toner through an environment control by detecting a temperature in the image forming apparatus more accurately without increasing costs. <P>SOLUTION: A CPU 171 determines whether or not a toner cartridge is provided with a temperature sensor. When the toner cartridge is not provided with a temperature sensor, an exhaust fan is controlled based on the sensing result of the temperature sensor in the image forming apparatus. When the toner cartridge is provided with a temperature sensor, the exhaust fan is controlled based on the sensing result of the temperature sensor in the image forming apparatus and the temperature sensor of the toner cartridge. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
