<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of preventing ejected sheets from clinging to each other, without increasing the cost and size of the apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus forms a toner image on a sheet material and conveys the sheet material to a first ejection port or the other ejection port by switching it back at the first ejection port and a first stacking section. In the image forming apparatus, a cooling fan is disposed near the exit of the first ejection port. The fan simultaneously cools a switch back conveying path, disposed in the first ejection port, and the first stacking section. Thus, the fan cools both the sheet material ejected in the first ejection port and the sheet material ejected in the other ejection port. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
