PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an erect wall, by which a thermal fixing part is partitioned from an ejected paper stacking part, from being heated to a high temperature and deformed or a user from touching the erect wall and getting burned in an electrophotographic image forming device equipped with an already recorded paper ejection part housing the thermal fixing part and the ejected paper stacking part adjacently to each other. SOLUTION: This device is provided with the thermal fixing part 25 fixing an image on a paper by making the paper to which the image has been transferred pass between a fixing roller 37 and a pressure roller 38, and the ejection part 27 housing the thermal fixing part 25 and ejecting the paper on which the image has been fixed from a paper ejection port 40. An upper outside cover 31 is provided with the ejected paper stacking part 30 in which the already recorded paper is stacked adjacently to the ejection part 27. Furthermore, the cover 31 is provided with the erect wall 39 obtained by making a part of the cover 31 rise and having plural air holes 35, and the stacking part 30 is partitioned from the thermal fixing part 25 by the wall 39. Then, ventilation is performed through the air holes 35 on the wall 39 so as to exhaust air heated by the thermal fixing part 25 to the outside of a printer main body 10. |
