ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus comprises an image forming unit for forming a toner image on a sheet, a fixing unit for fixing the toner image transferred on the sheet by heat, a cooling fan for cooling the sheet by supplying air to the sheet fixed by the fixing unit and an oscillating member. The oscillating member has a flat portion formed at the leading end side and shields the flow of air supplied by the cooling fan into the fixing unit.
