PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of stably outputting an image, which has no unevenness in gloss and has high quality, without increasing wasteful power consumption and enlarging the size of a driving mechanism in a second heating means. SOLUTION: A toner image on a recording sheet is fixed to the recording sheet by a first fixing unit 40. The recording sheet is cooled by a cooling fan 43 and introduced to a belt fixing unit 50A. The belt fixing unit 50A heats the recording sheet, thereby giving gloss to the image on the recording sheet. A cooling capability of the cooling fan 43 is switched over in accordance with temperature detected by a temperature sensor 109 which is disposed in a conveying path 104.
