Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes: a transport member that has a transport surface on which paper on which an image forming material is placed is transported and a surface opposite to the transport surface; a blowing unit that blows cooling air toward the paper being transported on the transport surface of the transport member; a receiving member that is located on a side of the opposite surface of the transport member and has a receiving surface for receiving the transport member; and a suction unit that sucks the transport member in a direction of the receiving member by an action of a negative pressure via a through-hole penetrating the receiving member from the receiving surface of the receiving member.
