PURPOSE:To provide an electrophotographic recording device stable in image quality, compact and easy in user maintenance by providing a specific air blowing means and an exhaust port provided at an air passage. CONSTITUTION:Air blasted from a fan 18 is directly applied to a toner make-up feed tank part 12, or to the toner make-up feed tank part 12 and a waste toner recovery tank part 11 for cooling so as to cool toner inside. This can prevent the degradation of new toner in the tank part 12 by heat and trouble such as the stop of rotation of a spiral 16 due to the toner being dried and congealed. This air blasting can also suppress temperature rise in a device by discharging air heated around a fixing element 8 to the outside from an exhaust port 19. |
