Abstract

See full text

A discharge tray is arranged above a space in which a toner bottle is stored, and a sheet having passed a fixing unit is discharged onto the discharge tray. A cooling fan cools the sheet on which a toner image has been fixed in the fixing unit before the sheet is discharged onto the discharge tray. A duct introduces outer air from an exterior to the cooling fan. A tray-side hole portion is formed in a portion of the discharge tray. Further, a duct-side hole portion is formed in a portion of the duct, and the duct communicates with the space in which the toner bottle is stored through the tray-side hole portion and the duct-side hole portion.
