Abstract
A smell dilution unit includes: a blower fan; a duct which guides an external air introduced from the blower fan; and a deodorization unit which contains a smell masking agent and allows an odor of the smell masking agent to be mixed with the external air introduced from the blower fan. Since the deodorization unit containing the smell masking agent, which is replaceable, is installed in the duct, the smell dilution unit may dilute an unpleasant smell generated during printing.
