Image forming apparatus

Abstract

Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of preventing heat in an in-body copy receiving portion from reaching a bottom face of a scanner portion disposed above the in-body copy receiving portion. An image forming apparatus (100) includes: an in-body copy receiving portion (90); a scanner portion (123); and an air blow portion (200). The in-body copy receiving portion (90) includes a copy receiving tray (91) to stack image-formed sheets thereon, the in-body copy receiving portion being disposed in the image forming apparatus (100). The scanner portion (123) is capable of reading a document, the scanner portion being disposed above the in-body copy receiving portion (90). The air blow portion (200) generates airflow between a maximum sheet loadable position on the copy receiving tray (91) and the scanner portion (123) so as to flow along a bottom face of the scanner portion (123).
