ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a heat source, a toner containing member containing toner, and an electric fan for generating air flow in an air flow path formed between the heat source and the toner containing member. In the image forming apparatus, a temperature of the heat source reaches a glass transition point of the toner. After the electric fan is changed from a driving state to a rest state, a phase transition member for absorbing heat is disposed in a heat transfer path, in which heat transfers, from the heat source to the toner containing member.
