Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a recording medium transport unit that is adapted to be capable of transporting a recording medium, which is capable of being held on an outer peripheral portion thereof, from one side of a rotation axis thereof to the other side of the rotation axis by rotating;
• a liquid discharge head that faces the outer peripheral portion of the recording medium transport unit in a transport range in which the recording medium transport unit is capable of transporting the recording medium and is capable of forming an image on the recording medium by discharging liquid to the recording medium, which is capable of being transported by the recording medium transport unit;
• and
• a gas compressor that faces a range positioned outside the transport range deviating from the transport range in a circumferential direction, of the outer peripheral portion of the recording medium transport unit, generates secondary compressed gas, of which the temperature is lower than the temperature of primary compressed gas supplied from the outside of the apparatus, from the primary compressed gas, and blows the secondary compressed gas to the range positioned outside the transport range.
