Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an exposure unit, a developing unit, a transferer, a fixer, a determiner, a blower, and a controller. The exposure unit exposes an image bearing member to light according to image data to form an electrostatic latent image. The developing unit is configured to develop the electrostatic latent image into a toner image. The transferer transfers the toner image onto a recording medium. The fixer heat fixes the toner image to the recording medium. The determiner determines a state of at least one of a temperature and a humidity inside the image forming apparatus. The blower generates airflow inside the image forming apparatus. The controller reduces the airflow volume of the blower based on a determination result of the determiner as the degree of the occurrence of dew condensation increases.
