Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3835875A1] An image forming apparatus H includes a duct unit 200 that forms an exhaust path for exhausting air exhausted from an exhaust port 228 of the image forming apparatus H to the outside of the duct unit 200, a filter 260 provided on the inside of the duct unit 200, fans 91 and 92 that are fixed to an upper cover 111 and a lower cover 112 on the inside of the duct unit 200 and exhaust the air in the duct unit 200. The duct unit 200 projects to the rear surface side of the image forming apparatus H with respect to a plane to which the fans 91 and 92 are fixed in the upper cover 111 and the lower cover 112. The duct unit 200 is disposed in a position not overlapping electronic components when the image forming apparatus H is viewed from the rear surface side.
