PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device which is capable of obtaining an image of high quality by eliminating an adverse influence on an image caused by the flowing of the outside air into a machine and is provided with a circulating mechanism accompanied by a cooling mechanism. SOLUTION: A circulating means 13 for circulating air is provided to execute the cooling and heating of each part in the machine, ozone removal processing for the air, etc., in the circulating path of the air and form the image by an electrophotographic process. The circulating means 13 circulates the air, when a change from conditions for inhibiting an image forming operation to conditions for enabling the image forming operation is made. Further, a temperature detecting means is provided in an arbitrary position in the device and at the time of starting the machine, the air can be circulated until the temperature detecting means detects a fixed temp. or more. The circulating means 13 is provided on the outside of a device body and plural air vents for the device body can be provided as well. |
