ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has a fixing unit for fixing a toner image while transporting a sheet at a first transporting speed or a second transporting speed which is slower than the first transporting speed; an ejecting device for ejecting from the apparatus the sheet on which fixing has been performed by the fixing unit; and a holder for holding the sheet between the fixing unit and the ejecting device so that sheets subjected to fixing at the second transporting speed can reach the ejecting device after passing the fixing device. Thus an image processing apparatus which can ejects sheets at a speed which does not interfere with sheet loading, regardless of the transporting speed of the sheets when passing through the fixing unit, can be provided.
