[origin: EP3106926A1] In accordance with an embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises a first fan, a filter section, a second fan, a fixing section and a control section. The first fan, which is provided with an air sucking port and an air exhaust port, sucks air in a casing. The filter section covers at least one of the air sucking port and the air exhaust port of the first fan. The second fan supplies air to an airflow path of the casing leading to the first fan. The fixing section heats a sheet at a plurality of target temperatures. In a case of changing the target temperatures of the fixing section, the control section drives the second fan, or continues the driving of the second fan that has already been driven and drives the first fan during a period the second fan is driven.
