ABSTRACT:
A support member has a plurality of through-holes for supporting printing paper to which a fusible toner is adhered. Hot air is blown toward the printing paper. By releasing a considerable amount of hot air blown toward the support member downward through the through-holes, the amount of hot air bouncing on the surface of the support member is decreased. Thus, floating or fluttering of the leading end of the printing paper is prevented when the leading end of the printing paper rushes into the fixing apparatus.
