An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium;
• a heating unit that is disposed on a downstream side of the image forming unit in a transport direction of the recording medium and is driven with at least two temperatures, a first temperature and a second temperature lower than the first temperature;
• a fan that generates wind;
• a guide that guides the wind generated from the fan to the heating unit;
• and
• a control unit that controls the fan and the guide when the control unit switches driving the heating unit between the first temperature and the second temperature,
• wherein the guide extends in a first direction intersecting a transport path of the recording medium, and
• wherein the guide comprises a plurality of guide plates disposed at intervals in a second direction intersecting the first direction.
