Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an information processing section that is provided with a housing and an image forming section that is disposed above the housing in a gravitational direction. In the image forming apparatus, a gap exists between the housing and the image forming section, and a ventilation hole is formed in an upper surface of the housing.
Claims16
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an information processing section that is provided with a housing;
- and
- an image forming section that is disposed above the housing in a gravitational direction defined as a direction from the image forming section to the information processing section,
- wherein a gap exists between the housing and the image forming section, and a ventilation hole is formed in an upper surface of the housing,
- wherein the information processing section is disposed in the housing and comprises a blower and a heat dissipation accelerating section that accelerates heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation accelerating section is located at a downstream side of the blower in a blowing direction of the blower.
