Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0604377A2] The present invention provides an image forming apparatus having a dew preventing mechanism for an electrophotographic photosensitive member. Wherein the hour when a heat generating means for applying heat to the photosensitive member is started is set by an operation panel, and the electric power is not supplied to the heat generating means after a power source of the image forming apparatus is turned OFF. Whereby, it is possible to avoid the useless electric power in the midnight, sunday and holiday when the image forming apparatus is not used. <IMAGE>
