An image forming apparatus, which forms an image on a recording material using a toner containing a crystalline substance, the image forming apparatus includes: a fusing unit that fuses a toner on the recording material; and a sheet transport device that transports downstream the recording material on which a toner image is fused by the fusing unit, wherein the sheet transport device includes: a rotating member which comes into contact with the toner image fused on the recording material and has in a sheet's width direction a length of at least a sheet's width; and a temperature control unit that controls a temperature of the rotating member within a temperature range in which the crystalline substance is not quenched to become amorphous and which is equal to or lower than a melting point of the crystalline substance based on a measured value of the temperature of the rotating member.
