Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion configured to form a toner image on a recording material; a fixing portion configured to fix the toner image on the recording material by heating the toner image formed on the recording material; a flow path including a first space connecting with the fixing portion and a second space connecting with the first space and through which air discharged from the fixing portion passes; a first electrode portion provided in the first space and provided with a first potential; and a second electrode portion provided in the second space and provided with a second potential different from the first potential. An air speed of the air passing through the second space is slower than an air speed of the air passing through the first space.
